hi everyone, I have 265 fish only. My two puffers are around 4" long, one is a porcupine the other a stars and stripes. They both are the biggest fish in the tank. I feed them krill as a rule( stars and stripes will eat anything). Usually I try to get them both 2 krill , three times a day, but they both act like their starving 24/7. When they eat now , they go after the food big time, to the point that stars and stripes is biting porcupines mouth every feeding. Am I underfeeding them?

You need to be offering more than just krill. Feeding nothing but that is not very nutrious.
Add scallops, squid, octo and shell on shrimp to their diet.
Also, try feeding each at opposite sides of the tank, or away from each other.

I did and thought I had posted in it. I've never seen anything like it.
