will my dragon puffer fish eat him inside a 250 gallon tank? It seems like he eat my snails.

If it's a palembang puffer (I think that's the spelling) they are lurkers, they get very large, and they will bite anything that gets close enough. Yes, they definitely eat snails, they have to or their teeth will overgrow and the teeth they may need trimming at some point regardless. Crayfish vs Puffer - I think the cray may lose.

it depends on the load on the filters. i have two large cichlids that are housed in a 125 gal aquarium and mostly feed them live minnows. the pellets seem to be alot of waste because when they eat them about half escapes out their gills and mouth. monitor your aquarium regularly withe a test kit. this will help you get a feel of how often you need to change carbon and zeolite media if that is what your going to use. love the penn-plax filters best bang for your bucks!

A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon. Maybe a snail would be alright, but definitely not the frog because it would produce too much waste for the small tank and the small filter. My tank is home to 1 betta and live plants. I also have a heater because bettas need 80 degrees F water, since they are tropical fish. My 1 betta is very active and always exploring and hiding in the plants.I would google "basic betta care" and "nitrogen cycle" and do a little reading before buying any animals. Remember fish are living beings and will depend on you for your care, so do your best to provide them a good home =) A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon.

Well I have about 30 of these snails. One beta and two shrimp. I have learned to buy all my aquatic creatures as young as I can find them. That way the can adjust to my Eco system. When I bought big snails they all died, but my baby snails and juvenile shrimp are doing ok. I do not have a heater. However most of the summer my tank live in the basement. And I bring it back up in the fall. I do not have a turtle, but if you got maybe sixty snails, how many could your turtle eat !! &#128077; good luck

In my 70 gallon freshwater tank, after using Flourish, I noticed elimination of green and brown algae, but I have a bluish grey green hairy algae that still grows on a few leaves of my plants. I did get some Otto Catfish and they're eating the algae but you'd probably need 6 or 7 of these to keep the tank under control.

I believed it can go a good month, depending on the following: size of the pellets; the opening of the portion size. Since I don't know what type of fish food you have, you can used mine for calculation. I use mini Cichlid pellet, 3-4 slot opening position, feeding twice daily. I have five 4-5" fish & a 6-7" Red-ear slider turtle that eats a lot on a 90gal tank. I only used the feeder when I'm away more than couple of days but not when I'm at home. I break the pellets for the fish and the turtle finishes the rest. Watch out for food condensation.

I have a beta, an algae eater, and previously snails. I did end up buying a different filter.

I'm pretty sure the clown loaches would eat them. There are very few tropical fish that wouldn't. I believe Chinese algae eaters (name?) are among the only ones that won't.

I am not sure about that. Your tank is pretty big. Maybe not because your tank is huge.

I have a 100 gallon stock tank full of 3in+ goldfish. This is their primary diet.

I have the shrimps for almost a year now, they are still healthy and living. I feed them spirulina powder from vitamin world once a week or two. They seem to like it a lot.

they burrow down to eat the nasty snails in my tank. have not noticed them stirring up the bottom, I enjoy watching them

Yes!! they are aggressive fish and will eat them. The ramshorn sails don't get big and in our tank our sword tails like picking on them but they don't harm them.

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.

I got the 300 watt for my 55 gal. seems to do fine. I rather have a higher watt and turn it down lower. Besides after they get old and don't work as well a higher watt seems to do better. I think a 250 would do the job for a 55 gal

The mini pellets are very small. They sink quickly and would probably take some work for smaller fish to consume. If they like to eat off the gravel it may work out ok.
