Ok guys, I'm just not having any luck getting my dog faced puffer or my eel to eat. Here is the background....I have had the eel for about 3 weeks and the puffer for about a week. I have been able to get the eel to bite into a krill, but I think it is because he is mad that I'm sticking this thing in his face....he doesn't appear to swallow it. But the puffer has yet to eat. He has been looking very good, but yesterday, he started to look a little lathargic (spelling?). Anyways, today I stopped at my lfs and asked them...they recommended trying a feeder or a ghost shrimp and see if he was interested. Well, when I got home, he was sucked up against the filter intake (he does this alot...sorta rests there for some reason). When I waved that feeder in front of him, he nailed it...Obviously he is very hungry. So....How do I get him to eat krill, squid, or silversides...I've tried all of them?
