Can a cuttlebone that you buy for a bird be used to put into an aquarium to help a pufferfish to file beak?
I’ve actually used this with red eared sliders to keep their beaks trimmed, but I’ve never heard of this being done with pufferfish. I know people who have used this with snails used to feed puffers (to harden their shells), though. I don’t see why this couldn’t work, as long as your puffer will use it.
I wouldn’t add it all at once,though, but break it into small sections. I can tell you from experience that after it’s been in the water for a while it tends to pick up a fungal/bacterial slime, so it should be removed after a few days.
You also don’t say what type of puffer you have. Cuttlebone has quite a bit of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals, so it may change the hardness or pH of your water if you have a freshwater puffer.
