    Hahaha! the bloodworm song. I imagine the peapuffers singing that song as they fatten up and it makes me want to die of cuteness!

    All I got to say depends the tank size but pea puffers can be with anyone I have 120 gal and I have 4 different species including puffers and they don't nip

    The wood shrimp need a good current to filter feed. Pea puffer do not appreciate a strong-flow. I can't see anyway to circumvent this.

      Hey. Yes the filter flow at the top of the aquarium is fairly strong but he still hasn't come higher than half way up the tank. Is there anyway to encourage it to get into the flow output? Don't want it to starve.

    So it's been a month. How is the shrimp doing in the Puffer tank?

      Allison Iglesias Hey! It’s doing quite well now. Hard to be sure if it’s eating enough but it’s finally realised it’s a filter feeder and now spends more time on the top branches and I crunch wet algae tablets up to powder mor of a powder so it feeds. Took a while to settle in but doing much better now luckily. The first month was a bit worrying though as it was feeding off the sand.

    I love your channel lmao! Where did you get those drift wood pieces and what are those plants you use????? Especially the bigger leafed plant!? They’re absolutely beautiful and this tank is AMAZING looking

    • @peapufferkingdom118

      Thanks! In London (U.K) there’s a place called Bethnal Green and the store is called Wholesale Tropicals. They have just about everything and amazing pieces of spider wood.
      The bigger leafed plant in called Anubias. They are great and basically indestructible in tropical tanks.

    How often and how many blood worms should I feed 5 pea puffers?

  • @servalguts
    @servalguts 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My local fish store has a huge grouper looking thing I don’t really know for 799 you think it will work with pea puffers

    • @peapufferkingdom118
      @peapufferkingdom118  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Serval I would find out its specific name and google the heck out of it. Probably best not to. If it’s huge then it would likely eat the peas.

      madhatters crafts Thanks. Yeah they are doing really well at the moment. Sorry to hear that. Sounds strange If there’s nothing that could eat them. If you have snails they would probably eat anything dead in there.

      @taoutdoors8110 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Check the filter? They maybe could have been sucked up the intake? Could they have nipped and killed each other? Do you have other species of the tank that could have eaten them after they passed away?

    With a 75g Community PeaPuffers White Cloud Minnows Yellow Tetras Neon Tetras peacock gudgeons and the bumblebee Gobies. Do you think ember tetras would be ok

    • @peapufferkingdom118
      @peapufferkingdom118  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lori Venker That’s a pretty big tank. Depends on how many of each fish you have. Maybe getting more neon tetras would look cool if the peas are accepting the tank mates so far.

      Wayne LeMarble Hey! My first 2 I have had for 3 months now. I bought another 4 in between but they didn’t last long at all. Similar with puffer. Ask for the ones which have a rounder body shape so you know they’re healthy. I currently have 4 ottos. Even when I only had 2 they kept most of the glass super clean!
