Rod's food is now available at Premium Aquatics

Um, with all due respect, you are quoting yourself!!!!

I was so worried about overfeeding my reef that early on I inadvertantly starved some fish. Fed too little too infrequently. Until I saw the quantities of food the folks I consider pillars in the hobby feed similarly stocked reefs...

Overfeeding = bad
Underfeeding = bad

I'm not saying puffer's method is underfeeding. Different fish have different needs. Look at them, and they'll tell you. Look at the cyano and that'll tell you too!

Sooooo, actually quoting an article I wrote.

Man you have a lot of fish Puffer! How many tanks?

 

[Pufferpunk]

Right now, I'm running a
-90g planted discus/pleco (& assorted loaches & other fish),
-29g BW w/figure 8 puffers a dragon goby (my latest article is on them) & 1 lonely bumblebee goby (puffers ate the rest),
-15g with a bright red FW Congo puffer, named Punkster,
-125g w a gorgeous & very personable 1' fahaka puffer, that actually allows tank mates (most fahakas eat them) of large cichlids, tiger barbs a 12" goldspot pleco & lots of other oddballs,
-20g w/a 4" flat, metallic green puffer, called a modestus puffer & a 7" royal pleco,
-55g river tank w/n African sideneck & softshell turtle
-55g reef tank (soon to be upgraded to a 90g)
-50g presently astoring LR & overflow corals from the frag swap but hoping to keep either a dwarf lionfish or sharpnose puffer, with a Dusky jawfish.

Here are a few of my puffers:
MODESTUS PUFFER

FILBERT THE FAHAKA PUFFER

CONGO PUFFER (PUNKSTER)

 

[hansnfrans]

The modestus and congo are very cool. How much $ do these run (I have a friend who's into fresh/brackish-water puffers)? Never seen 'em before.

 

[craftytony]

puffer, do you feed your freshwater fish rod's food also?

 

[Pufferpunk]

No, there are too many tiny particles that would not get eaten & mess w/nitrates. There are no creatures like pods & softies to eat them.

 

[craftytony]

cool...sorry, probably a stupid question, i don't know much about freshwater

One of the great things about fresh water is you can drink it. You should try some time.

 

[Pufferpunk]

Actually, I can't stand the taste of water. I have to drink it disguised, like Fruit20.

 

[whiirly]

I diguise my water with Bud light or Kettel 1

 

[craftytony]

I don't disguise mine....i just drink tequila

 

[Pufferpunk]

Even tequila I disguised as a sunrise. Haven't had a drink in over 8 years though.

Thats nothing how about 30 years! And I'm 30 years old.

 

[Pufferpunk]

There's a funny joke about that... A fellow in AA goes to his mom & says "Mom, I have 10 years sober today!" & Mom says, "so what, so does the cat."

 

[craftytony]

Benjie, i need to take you out and get you wasted!

 

[Pufferpunk]

Might be creating a monster there!

 

[craftytony]

This is true....I'll just make him a bloody mary (with just a dash of Rod's food!)
