Appropriate Home. Eventually a large aquarium with at least 50 gallons of water, an exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum of 1/4 inch of gravel, and an aquarium heater adjusted to between 78 and 82 degrees F.
Some Puffers do best in freshwater, and other Puffers do best in brackish water with at least 1 Tablespoon of aquarium salt per each 5 gallons of aquarium water. See the table above for more about the type of water preferred by each species of Puffer.
Recommended Diet. Freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried shrimps or krill, plus frozen and live brine shrimp, live Ghost Shrimp, and an occasional treat of a few live Black Worms.
Puffers have uniquely powerful beaks, that they use to crack open snail shells, and puffers love to eat small aquatic snails such as rams horn snails. Puffers will also eat Crabs and Shrimp.
