No More Food for Fish

[Terrance]

My family could not tolerate me breeding crayfish to feed my puffers. I will have to tear down my 29g and do something else with it

Only dead crustaceans for my puffs indefinitely. Live worms occasionally though.

So... you're asking what to do with your 29g? Or just sharing your frustration?

 

[Alyxx]

That sucks. Are you looking to rehome any of the crays?

 

[Terrance]

I will feed the rest to my puffs :d it was part of the deal with my family.

This is just frustration. I know exactly what I want to do with the 29g

 

[boadams87]

That sucks! How old r u? They wouldn't tell me how or what to do with mine!

 

[Terrance]

When you get married, then it's all about compromises. I'm also 87'.

 

[boadams87]

Yes ur right about that. Cool.

 

[tarpon]

NOO! not the puffers!
Pufferman needs to feed his puffers live food

 

[Alyxx]

I guess I'm lucky, my boyfriend loves watching mine hunt live food.

 

[Freshie In Disguise]

Why did that upset them? Did they grow attached to the crays or what? If they are bred for the purpose of becoming food, what's wrong with that?

 

[Terrance]

Cruelty is the reason. Baby Crays are "cute".

 

[Alyxx]

The only objection I think I would get from my household is that the puffers got to eat crawfish instead of us, haha. If I had a tank full of big crays I would be a bit worried that I would come home to a plate full of boiled crawfish and a tank devoid of puffer food...

 

[Greenpillow]

good thing they dont live in Louisiana... people eat them by the # full

 

[Alyxx]

Yes, we do! Last crawfish boil I went to, I think we did around 50lbs... My first pet crays were oddities found in the ones my dad got shipped to his restaurants. I had whites, blues, oranges. All pretty much for free!
