Free Blue Spotted Sharp-Nosed puffer

[OctaviousMonk]

I have a 2 year old blue spotted puffer. It is from the sharp-nosed Toby family so it is small 2 1/2 inches. It is very gorgious and has the same dog like personality of the larger puffers. He is not reef safe, but is very peaceful with other fish and if kept fed he never once botherd any other inverts. It has been in a QT tank for a week and all is well. Needs to be picked up asap in Hackensack, nj.

I repeat this fish will nip at stony corals

Thank you.

Do they need the presence of stonies to wear teeth down?

No, they should be fed some hard shell shrimp or such for the purpose of grinding the teeth down.

yeah awibrandy said it right. I also would buy live clams from the supermarket and he would work on those sometimes. They thought I was crazy buying 2 clams, the total would be like $1.50. Those that lived buried themselves in the sand and helped keep the sand clean. I think I still have 2 living in my tank.

Oh yeah sorry the point of this post is that he has found a great new home at 1ucky's house in a large FOWLR tank.
Thanks for all the interest.

the easiest way to keep their teeth ground down is to feed them their food frozen to the inside of a clam shell. While they try to tear it free they continually scrape their teeth on the shell.
