Pros
- they form a tight group that’s fun to watch in a larger tank, lets you see their natural schooling nature
- Parent context: My absolute favourite fish!!! Ahhh so cuuuute Reply: They are aren't they😆 I'll try and post a pic tomorrow when it's feeding time they're like little pea sized puppies looking at you getting their food ready......to mur...
- I'm so glad I managed to trick mine into also accepting freeze-dried bloodworms and daphnia. Makes feeding a lot less stressful.
- They're great in groups there's nothing to fear. They do get a bit chasey with eachother at times but i think all fish can be like that. In a heavily planted tank with lots of breaks in lines of sight they should be fine.
- Yes they might be fussy eaters and yes they might be more tricky to own but they sure are worth it. These little fish pack so much personality into their pea sized bodies.
Cons
- I'm pretty sure mine at one of my Pea Puffers, so I traded it off for other fish.
- Yeah it was a bit of a struggle to get them to accept frozen bloodworm but what really impressed me was that they learn from eachother. When one had a nibble they all realised that these little red noodles are edible 😅
- And then you buy pea puffers to take out your assassin snail problem!

I’ll stick with pea puffers for now
My pea puffers became my favorite fish ever after that. They are like little adorable water puppies when they aren't viciously murdering snails.
