A diet of shrimp and krill, unfortunately, will not do it for your puffer. They not only lack certain vitamins, but produce an enzyme that breaks down the necessary vitamins in other foods.

I agree. That is why i am trying to find every meat possible. Even crab. I also soak my shrimp and scallops in Vita-Chem supplement and garlic. They seem to absorb it well. I also found some squid that mine likes with tentacles and all.
