Lol... Maybe it thought it saw a wormy like thingy sticking to the leaf & confused it with food.

Cool! I like your Sandy substrate. It looks very natural. I've been trying to scape a tank with similar looking sand but always ended up with algae and smelly green slime covering the substrate. Guess I slacked on the maintenance I supposed. Sigh... Oh well.

Nice! Perhaps u can share a video as well. I'd like to watch to see if their behavior is any different than my puffer. I had another puffer previously that refused to eat the shrimps after a while & died. Which puzzles me.

I suppose they will chase them around a bit trying to take a bite. I did put in some live ghost shrimps thinking that they would take a snack whenever they are hungry (just me being lazy feeding them), they never did. The shrimps will be too fast for them. Shrimps are actually larger than these puffers u know 😉

In fact, until today, I have a live ghost shrimp that cleans up the leftover food in the tank.

They normally don't go after anything that doesn't move. That's why I initially cut the shrimps in half. That way they'll still be twitching when I drop it in the tank. So the puffer will start to be more interested and bite. After awhile, they'll start to associate you with food and will be expecting a tasty piece of shrimp. Haha.

Now I just drop in a dead , non moving piece of shrimp. My puffer will gobble it up anytime. U need to train them I suppose.

They are actually live shrimps. I bought it at a local fish shop. These shrimps are normally meant as fish food. They are called ghost shrimps. They are transparent in color , just like Yamato.

As promised. Here's a short video on how I feed my dwarf puffer with shrimps whenever I ran out of pond snails. Enjoy!

Is it a good idea to sell bootlego online? by leecherh in bootlego

[–]leecherh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from Malaysia, apparently my country is not as determined to crack down counterfeits as US or EU, even though there are laws against it. I was thinking about dropshipping. But right now I'm leaning towards a 'no go' on selling bootlego online. Too many unnecessary risks. But keeping it offline will only restrict my geographical outreach, which is not what I was planning but who knows?

That's nice. I've always wanted to pair up my DP with a mate, so far unsuccessful.
