Food for Puffer?

[jp0379]

i have a Puffer, and ALL he eats is Krill..........I am happy he's eating well, of course, but I was wondering what those of you out there feed yours. He won't touch live fish (which I am not a big fan of........fed them to my lionfish until I got him used to frozen), brine shrimp (live or frozen).........any ideas? Thanks as always!

Krill is my dogfaces' favorite but he will take large silversides. Just keep trying different things and in time he may change. In the mean time, soak in zoe and selcon so he gets some extra vitamins. Mine will eat some Formula 1 as well.
Good Luck!

Thanks, Jump..........I'll give that a try! And if he eats it, my puffer thanks you too! LOL

My porky will eat Krill, but he loves "Sally Silversides" Sometimes I buy live brine and he will eat it , but not frozen.

Thanks, Murray. I'm getting some live brine this evening, so hopefully he'll go for it!

My puffer loves regular raw shrimp.

Mine loves Ghost shrimp, Guppies, frozen brine, live brine, and fresh water snails from the guppy tank.."crunch!"
