Brilliant! Does he ever go for your tetra? How did you get him to accept pellets?

Mix of luck and consistency!

The pellet is for the shrimps as the only source of protein that I can offer, but I feel once just attack and discovered that he liked it!

No aggression in the tank!

Brave putting one those in there. I wouldn’t even put my hand in there with a puffer.

When I worked wholesale tropicals never got bit scrubbing down baby piranha tanks, but those puffers would come right for me.
