Amazon Puffer Care: Trim Teeth, Stop Glass Surfing, Pick Tank Mates

I glad you addressed the issue of the puffer's teeth and maintenance

They can be a lot to manage, but adding things like clams and hard shell crayfish can help trim their teeth naturally. Regularly providing these tough foods mimics their natural diet and prevents overgrowth. Additionally, keeping a varied diet with crunchy, shell-on foods helps maintain their dental health and keeps them active and engaged.

7 in a 40g i feed live mealworms, bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, misenshrimp, pest snails

Sounds like a great setup! Feeding a variety like that is fantastic for keeping them healthy and happy. Seven in a 40-gallon tank should work well as long as you keep up with water quality. Thanks for sharing your feeding routine!

How big is your tank they are in?

My Amazon puffers are in a 50-gallon tank as well. They thrive in that environment! How are yours doing? Any tips you’ve found helpful?
