Vegetarian Puffer? Or malnourished?

Post by kcd1803 »

Hi all, I got a Blue Spot Toby off of Craigslist a month ago. He was feeding him nothing but premium carnivore food. Since I have had him, he ate frozen carnivore food for the first few days, but once I introduce some supplemental Flake food, he will only eat the flake and does not even move toward the frozen when he sees it anymore. I have some birds nest coral in there for him to munch on to help with his buck teeth and he does not seem to nip at it at all either. Could he just be craving the nutrients he was missing on an all meat diet? I am not concerned as I know the flake food has animal protein too, but just curious.
