Pretty Pea Puffers Pea puffers are the tiny little fish...with the long list of names! They are sometimes called pea, dwarf, bumblebee, blue-eyed, pygmy or malabar puffers. They are from inland waters of India to China. You might find a small school of them in a river, lake, floodplain and even sometimes in a brackish water estuary. Pea puffers are intelligent little fish and very inquisitive. In the wild they will live in areas with lots of plants and many hiding places. They will set up their own territory and defend it very well. They each will swim in their own unique pattern and are quite fun to watch. Pea puffers are carnivores, and grow very strong and sharp teeth. To keep their teeth ground down, they will munch on snails. Eating snails makes them a molluscivore. They will also eat brine shrimp, bloodworms and other small animals and insects. The main criteria of a pea puffers diet is size, since they are so small!
Try This! Create a pea puffer! What you will need: balloon newspaper paste paint brushes
Pea puffers are unique for puffers, because when they are adults you can tell males from females. Males have a dark line down their bellies, and will also have little lines around their eyes. Both males and females will have the “blue eyes” of their other name. This page proudly sponsored by:

Blow up your balloon. Cover it in paper mache, let dry and layer again. Let dry. Paint your puffer. Hang them all around your classroom to create a school of pea puffers.
A Pod of Pea Puffers If you are looking for a cool one critter tank, puffers are awesome. They like to live with only their kind and like 5 gallons each. So you could have a neat tank with tiny puffers!

What Is Asthma? When you breathe in through your nose or mouth, the air goes into your windpipe, through the airways (or bronchial tubes) and into the lungs. For most kids, this is easy and automatic. When a person has asthma, it can be more difficult. When you have an asthma episode or “attack”, the airways become swollen and narrower and it is a lot harder to get air to go into the lungs and get out of the lungs. The swollen airways can also produce extra mucus which makes things even more difficult! If you have asthma, this could make you wheeze (a whistling sound) as you breathe and/or your chest feels tight like someone is squeezing you. It can also make you cough and take shorter breaths. No one knows why some kids get asthma and others do not. But, it often runs in families - like having a parent, sibling or other relative that has it. Asthma is not contagious. It can start at an early age and stop when a person becomes an adult - but some children get it back when they are older. What causes asthma to flare up? Sometimes there are different triggers that cause an attack. Some kids are sensitive to substances that cause allergic reactions in the airways called allergens. Some common allergens for kids with asthma are dust mites, mold, pollen from trees, weeds and grass, furry animals with dander (dandruff) in their fur. Sometimes its perfume, chalk dust and cigarette smoke, smog or air pollution. There is also a reaction at times to an infection like a cold or flu that makes the airways more sensitive. Cold air and even exercise can cause a flare-up. There are many more triggers and sometimes kids need to have an allergy test to find out what their triggers are! It is important to manage your asthma with your doctor and the help of your parents with a treatment program. There are different medicines for treating asthma because not all children’s asthma is the same. Some kids
need to take medicine only once in a while when they have a flare-up. This is called a rescue medicine because it works fast to open airways so they can breathe easier. Other children need to take controller medicine every day to keep flare-ups from happening. If kids with asthma know they will be around allergens they may need to take medicine ahead of time to keep airways open. With exercise induced asthma, kids can take medicine before exercising also, so they can continue to exercise or do sports. One of the tools used to manage asthma is a peak flow meter. This tool, when used properly, will give kids who have asthma an idea of how well they are breathing that day. Asthma medicine is often taken through an inhaler. An inhaler is a plastic tube that holds a medicine container. It is held up to the mouth and then the medicine is breathed in. The medicine comes out in a mist that goes into the lungs. The mists’ job is to relax the airways to make it easier to breathe. Sometimes the inhaler is used with a spacer. The spacer is a piece that goes between the inhaler and the kids’ mouth. It allows the kid to breathe in when the kid is ready, so inhaling the medicine is easier. There are also medicines that are taken in by swallowing them. Some need a nebulizer - thats a machine containing medicine that has a face mask that the kids put on and breathe the medicine in. Whatever the medications are being taken, the goal is to get the asthma flare-ups under total control so there are no problems created by triggers. There are many athletes, including Olympic athletes and sports stars who have asthma that they are managing.
