Hey guys,

I recently got 2 baby fahaka puffers, they are +- 1” and I really wanna grow them out...

What’s the growth rate on them? And best food for growth?

They eat earthworms, mussels, MP and hikari pellets

TIA

Growth rate given optimal parameters etc should be around 1” per month till they reach about 12” at which point start slowing down...

Your current food menu looks good, but if you need more options, you can also throw in any of the following as your puffer ages clams / crays / crab legs / snails / NLS pellets and more...
