So I've never owned puffers before and will soon be getting 5 juvenile figure 8 puffers. I need you guys to help me figure out a feeding schedule. I've read the feeding & F8 articles, I just need to know how much to feed them and how much of each type of food.
I don't have a snail breeder tank, I was thinking about setting one up. What do you guys think? Do other shelled foods grind down their teeth as well?
But for now I was going to feed them predominantly (~80%) frozen shelled foods (that I would defrost and dose with vitamins) and supplement it with frozen blood worms and other non-shelled foods (~20%).
What shelled foods should I use and how much should I put in per feeding? Are there any others than mussel and cockel? Which is the best for grinding down teeth? How many times a day or week?
A rough outline of a weekly feeding schedule would be great
Help me make a feeding schedule!

Just feed until their bellies become rounded. You can feed raw shrimp with shells on as well.

Are raw shrimp with shells as good as snails for wearing down teeth?
