Thank you this is brilliant information. My daughter has just bought a small puffer and is worried he’s not eating his snails. Perfect 👌🏻
Glad it was helpful!
Glad it works for you. You may be the first one too show fully grown Amazons on TH-cam. Nice work man.
Hey ive found if you add frozen blood worm to the mix and re freeze it, that works and that gets the puffers attention 👍🏻plus you can get calcium blocks for your snails, i live in a hard water area but still some snails have calcium deficiency, i also put egg shell in my snail tank and thats supposed to help too 👍🏻🦇
was just tinking to go the same!
did it work out for you to do that?
Very clever use of Repashy! Also very thoughtful to add in the training tips for newly-surprised puffers.😉
Glad you like the vid, Deborah...thanks for watching.
Great idea, Dan.
Question, would putting oyster shells in the snail tank help them grow stronger shells?
It just might. I'm not sure...never tried it.
The cuttle bones sold for birds are excellent to add to snail tanks. Put it in the filter or just toss it in the tank. It will sink faster if you boil it about 10 minutes.
Great idea, Guppy Granny!!!
Add a cuddle bone for birds to your snail tank
Good tip!
One heck of an idea Dan !!! I never had puffers because I could never get the snails to grow in sufficient numbers. This might force me to get a few puffers. Thanks
Great! Puffers are amazing. I hope you are now able to get a few.
This is awesome and such a releif to find another resort, I tried to do puffer teeth and almost passed out doing it, lol
This is great! Are you still using the same recipe now 4 years later? Thank you!
Yep.
Will try it for sure!! I also use crickets fro my amazon puffers and they seem to like it also!!
I could really benefit from some more Amazon puffer videos! My puffers will only eat blood worms. And one of them eats snails but doesn’t touch their shell. I need help . Thanks so much for this video, I will try it!
Pretty brilliant. Used to use this with our chickens to help with egg shell strength.
This is brilliant, thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it and I hope it helps everyone keep puffers healthy.
I used your way of doing it, but used agar agar instead, to get the right consistency not just the puffers love it, even the cardinals, the Silver Flying Fox (who's not supposed to eat so much protein but he won't listen to me) love it.
Sure, agar would work well too.
This is brilliant! I've never heard of this puffer tip before.
I don't know if in your country you can buy snails for human consumption. But here in mine I bought 500g of snails, smashed them all and yeah!! ready to feed.
Your awesome man thank you now I now what to do while waiting on my packages. I been in constant panic
Happy to help :)
Here in the EU it's become impossible to get your hands on Repashy and I can tip people here in Europe, scratching their heads, to buy Agar Agar, it's an algae based sort of gelatin. It keeps together better than normal gelatin and it's not made from mammal bones. It doesn't melt in the water either.
Yep, its made from seaweed
CLEVER!!!
Awesome Video! Thanks for sharing, we appreciate it very much.
You got it, Allen. Thanks for making such great products!
This is great. With this diet , shrimp and hard shell snails crickets / beetles / mealworms,( bred by me ofc ) wpuld they be content?
Nice idea - totally stealing this!
Now, now...you can't steal what is freely given :)
Fantastic video. Very well made. Those puffers are sooooo cool.
Thanks for watching, Max! Puffers are cool...big personality in these little fish.
Oh my snap somebody give this guy money. I have five f8’s it was a total pain to keep enough snails. This is a no brainer and you can switch up the repashy types for variety and nutrition.
There was a new study and the best food to feed is live insects such as mealworms and crickets. This is their diet in the wild. And use sand substrate because when they sift through the sand, that will grind their teeth. Less than 5% of their diet is snails and things like that.
My dragon puffer ate Repashy Super Green! :-D As if he knew he needed the vitamins. Because guppys did not even like super green. That is for Tropheus and real herbivore plecos.
great content. considering amazon puffers and doing my research. glad I found this.
Thanks for the video! Snails are getting expensive. You need to work on that tank though.😂
Great hack. Thanks for the video.
Dharma is probably too big to benefit from this, but the smaller ones might like it.
As of yesterday, she still won't take clams on the half shell, only snails. I'm going to keep trying the clams for a while. Thanks Dan.
Wow what a good idea, been thinking about a fahaka puffer and this is really helpful:)
It has been working great for me. I don't know how it would do for a full grown fahaka, but it will definitely help during the baby stage.
Great tip Dan!! Even though I live in Texas...my tap is very soft
Congrats! You found the only soft water source in TX :)
I don't have puffers (unfortunately), but I'm watching anyway. 🤷🏻♀️
I guess that's the nice thing about my super hard, alkaline water: my snails do great. I don't need supplements or anything for their shells, nor do I need to feed them much because they have so much biofilm available.
Yep...there are pros and cons to each water type. That's your pro. Con: bathtube rings :)
This is a great idea. I especially like the nutritional vale. I often wonder if my puffers have a sufficient diet which is mostly protein.
I worry about that too. In the wild, they get a lot of the nutrition they need from the gut of their prey. In the aquarium we tend to feed cleaned and frozen prey items, so the nutrition in the gut is altered or missing altogether. I feel better when I can get some food into them which is packed with vitamins and minerals.
I have soft water as well so awesome idea and video! Thank you
Softies unite!
I love this Dan.
My question is where did you get that Costco size thing of Repashy?
I have 3 little SA puffers that will NOT eat anything other then frozen blood worms.. I've tried mysis, brine, raw shrimp tail chunks even beef heart .. and they will not eat baby ramshorn or MTS snails, literally have snails reproducing in there with them! .. read they prefer pond snails or pest snails but i have not had any to try yet .. i will give this a shot see if it may work! thanks!
Hope it works. If those puffers have other food items available and just won't switch form bloodworms, it might be time to hold back the bloodworms for a week or so if the puffers have good body weight and are healthy. Usually, I don't find holding food back like that necessary, but it might be needed in this case or their teeth could overgrow.
What a great resourceful idea!!!!
Sure helps me keep their teeth in shape.
Thanks so much for this!! mine have huge teeth and I'm about to do this!
Hell yeah,thanks for the tip!
You got it!
super Idea, thank you!
But Question: what ist "pashi" ?, what does it consist of and where can i buy it ?
Interesting Puffer Food.
Thanks, Brantov!
Good way to reduce costs. Well done.
Yep...buying snails can get pricey!
@@DansFish I don't think people realize a lot of time what they are spending on even the container fish foods. Some are $100 per pound if you look at it that way by weight compared to what you can buy in just the grocery store.
There are definitely some expensive food out there. It is okay if someone just has a few fish, but once MTS sets in, somethings got to give :)
@@DansFish Yeah convenience and freeze dried does have big advantages. I'm currently looking for a 12 step program for MTS. So far none exists.
LOL!!!
Ok, well, my GSP is totally ignoring the Repashy/oyster shell mixture. In another tank, my YoYo loaches (Repashy WITHOUT oyster shells) are likewise ignoring it. Guess I'm having it for a snack for myself.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this
You are welcome Angelo. Thanks for watching.
I SO wanna try this! thanks for the video! =D
I hope it works for you. It has saved me many times!
@@DansFish hey Dan, I just wanna say thank you for this! My figure 8s love this food. They ate it so fast! My question is, is the food supposed to form into a hard chunk or keep soft? And could I place it in the freezer to harden it? or should I keep it in the fridge?
i have soft water as well and having the same problem with my snails im trying to breed out ..
this helps a ton thanks again dan .
btw just uploaded a new video
You got it, Tech Turtle!
I just go some Amazon Puffers and this is such a great ideas. Thank you 😊 Edit: I wonder if eggshells would works as well.
Max good video. Can u put the mix food and shells in icecube forms and freeze Them?
Cant whit putt egg shell in steed of oyster shell ? Becuase ton want to change paramètre of my tank
Good idea.
Good comment :)
Did not work for me, tried it. They were smart enough too just suck the Repashy out of the shells, or just eat around the shell pieces. 😃 They are so smart, all puffers seems a little bit smarter then your average fish.
What a fantastic way to keep their dental needs accounted for. I definitely need to try this. Thank you so much Dan for your tips and tricks to enrich our aquarium pets' lives.
Is this good for pea puffers?
Amazing video
Thanks, George. I hope the method works for your fish as well as it does for mine.
Does it matter what repashy you use for the spotted Congo puffer
Excellent tip!💕👍
Excellent enough for actual words to be typed by CJ?!?! I must have leveled up 😂🕶🎸
Lol! 💕👍
can i feed my frozen krill or will he trim down his own teeth
What a great idea.
👍💕👍
It sure has helped me have success with puffers. No beak trimming here!
Do you add any other proteins to the repashy? What puffers have you gotten to take repashy. Thanks in advance.
Brilliant!
Thanks Lamont...great to hear from you!
can i also do this for red eye puffers?
What is that and how do you spell that? Apachi? The caption isn't really helping. lol
Repashy gel food for aquarium fish 👍
Hey Dan, do you think the oyster shell in there would cause any issues with other fish that may inhabit the tank (ie. Plecos, corys, etc)? I have a Spotted Congo Puffer housed with some panda corys and was curious as to your thoughts. Thanks so much for this video!
Have you ever had to trim your puffer's teeth at all after using your artificial snail food method? Also the clump that you put in the water looked very hard. Do you feed them right away after you mix the shell and the repashy or do you freeze them first? Thanks.
There are a zillion different types of repashy. It looks like you're using the Repashy Community Plus, is this correct? Would you also recommend this for Green Spotted Puffers? Mine is in a relatively high brackish tank. Been feeding him ramshorn snails but wanted to try other things to help his beak.
hi mate. thanks for your video. just a question, do you crush up the shells atall as some are quite big and also do they actualy eat/chew on the shells or try to just eat around them to get to the food source and leave you a load off shells on the floor. thanks mate
Hello is good for Carinotetraodon travancoricus?
What type of puffer fish are in this video? I want to set up a dwarf pufferfish tank. I want to get them as babies and grow them to full size adults in the same tank. How many dwarf pufferfish can I get in my 15 gallon tank
Awwe I just got my tiny baby pea puffer for my 5 gallon
You can put one puff per 5 gallon to start and then 3 gallon per puff extra
So for you, 4-5 would probably work with lots of cover and heavily planted to separate territories
Is this to feed Freshwater or Saltwater puffers?
Would it also help if the food was pre frozen?
I'm not sure...I've never fed them frozen foods. I don't like the idea of a big chunk of cold ice in their bellies.
@@DansFish Hi Dan, if you feed them live food, do you de-worm them once a while to make sure there's no internal parasite? Or is the method "feeding freshwater food to saltwater fresh, or vice versa" eliminates the chance of internal parasites surviving?
I recently just started a snail tank for my GSP. They're still growing and the tank is still in quarantine period. My GSP is in salinity 1.020 and pond snails in pure freshwater, but I'm still hesitating for hitchhikers parasites....
There are very few info on homemade Puffer food with grit, have you had any feedback with ppl trying with fahakas yet?
Hi Dan! How do you encourage Amazon puffers to not surf the glass as much. Ive had 2 Amazon for a few months who have been surfing the glass quiet a bit. Maybe a quarter of the time. I got 3 more from my LFS to help but they all seem to surf more now.
They are in a 40 breeder with a nice jungle of Val, Java fern, crypts, Ludwigia, floating penny wort with long roots, hygro plants.
It is near a window but the back is blacked out. I've got a small powerhead aimed at the front of the glass to give them some current to swim in but they prefer the sides to surf on.
Henry,
I wish I could help, but I honestly have no idea as it is not a problem I have run into. IF ANYONE READS THIS AND KNOWS HOW TO HELP, PLEASE COMMENT BELOW!
I'm lucky...my little group will occasionally surf the glass ( a couple of them are doing it in the vid) but the don't do it very often and never for a long period of time. I have 2 off-the-cuff ideas: 1. Unplug the power head and see if that changes anything...perhaps the current is actually driving them to the glass? I don't know, but it it worth a try unless they were surfing before the power head was placed it the tank. 2. Perhaps some live food to play with? A mess of ghost shrimp or cherry shrimp or scuds to hunt?
These are just guesses. I wish I could help more.
I saw on another video that they used black pvc boards around the tank and stopped all glass surfing in their tank, i havent tried it so i am not sure if its effective but id say its worth trying out with black paper behind first
*edit* the video is called "Amazon puffer fish Updates and Feeding." By Lifewithpets on youtube
Did you ever figure this glass surfing out? Your set up and situation sounds very similar to mine. I have a single puffer and just picked up 4 more. And they glass surf too.
Would this be community tank safe? Kinda worried that some fish might choke on the shells
Edgar,
I guess it depends on the type of fish in the community tank. Goldfish might try to eat the shells. I think most small, peaceful fish would be fine.
Awesome Video Thanks for Sharing FishFam NJAE19
There's the V. Bot I know and love :)
Dan, do all the amazon puffers you sell already eat repashy?
Yes. I train them to Repashy from the get-go.
Haven't finished the video yet, what kind of repashy?
Ahh. Repashy community.
That's the one I have around. I bet other types of Repashy would work as well.
What was the powdered stuff?
Repashy fish food...at least I think that is what you are referring to: www.store.repashy.com/
Hey Dan where do I buy rapacity
Here's one source: www.aquariumcoop.com/collections/repashy-foods
For bulk, you can purchase right from the manufacturer: www.store.repashy.com/
