Porcupine-Puffer Fish WAYY too SHY!!

[collin98]

Hello Everyone! Well, after about 9 months of waiting around, I've finally decided to bring this topic to the forums. "MY PORCUPINE PUFER FISH IS WAYY TO SHY!" My tank is about 60 gallons, and my puffer is 4 inches. I've had him for nine months now, I got him in March. Anyways, all my puffer does is hide all the time. The puffers I see in the store are ALWAYS dancing around when they see yo

u. My puffer was eating fine when I bought him, so I had no worries.... Just to find out he doesn't do anything. His tank mates are a pair of clownfish, a pair of blue throat triggerfish, a blue hippo tang, a cleaner wrasse, and a yellow head sleeper goby. I rarely see him eat, but he eats the krill I put in the tank overnight when I turn the lights out! So I am at a loss!!!! Could anybody offer me any advice?!?! Thanks!!!

Well my porcupine is a slow eater and it preffers that the food come to him and triggers are pretty aggressive eaters and tangs are fast eaters leaving the last of the food in the floor and then the goby eats them I would try to aim the food directly at him to try to make him hungry also make sure he isn't hurt
