I just got a7-8 in Golden Puffer. What would be the best diet for him? I've tried supermarket size shrimp chomped up w/ shell still on he did not go for it. So I fed him krill and he went for it.
But I don't want to feed him just krill what else should I try?

Will they eat crab legs? If you feed clams will they bite through the shell or do I have to feed on a half shell?

Great nice buy.Got any pics.I have been trying to get one for a month now.Hard to find now.Clams are find, just crack them open for him.Krill is also fine.Just soak it in vitamins like garlic,selcon,vitamin c, and zoa.And yes if you want to spend the money on crab, he will eat that also.And once he is eating the krill good, he should start taking the other food also.As for the shrimp.Try pulling off the shell and feed him just the shrimp.I feed my puffers and triggers a mix of the following food all soaked in the vitamins i listed.
Scallops
Squid
Krill
Ocean Perch
Shrimp

triggerfreak - I'm concerned that my puffers will get long in the tooth. What do you do to keep their teeth under control?
