Default Puffer fish coexisting with shrimps

Hi,

Would like to share a video of my puffer fish. Coexisting together with my shrimps.

Kelvin's Crustaceans Adventure: Coexistence of puffer and shrimps

Do visit my blog on how to train your puffer fish so that they will not attack your shrimps.

If Puffers eat shrimp it is not a behavior per se that you can modify. It is more a natural instinct. You may be able to put out easier attainable things for his diet and he may leave your shrimp alone for the most part, but you cannot train instinct "out" of the fish. Let the alternative food be lite one day and the fish will revert to instinct.
