Biking along the boulevard
I really can't believe i'm writing that. I love spike, seriously. He is the niftiest dang fish I have ever seen, but there are a pile of things that I've learned about caring for a puffer fish in the last month.
-He will eat dried meal worms, but the only other things he'll eat are live food which means I absolutely have to have a second tank to keep his food in. (Ghost shrimp, snails, etc)
-He is a sociopath, if I put in more food than he can eat, he will kill everything once he's full. Not to eat, just to maim.
-Spike knows how to beg! The moment I come home he starts leaping up and trying to get my attention to be fed, it's freaking adorable
-He'll also jump for meal worms, if I hold one up he'll jump out of the water to snag it.
And the problem thing is, he's bored. i have varying heights in the tank with fake plants, places to hide, but he keeps swimming up and down the glass in his spare time which apparently means he's bored. What set ups have people used with their puffers?
