Feeding for Figure 8 puffer fish

Post by JustMe »

Hi! Im new to the forums.
I was wondering how should i feed my figure 8 puffer. I was planning to feed it pond snails, but is it okay to just toss some snails in and just let the puffer fish eat whenever it wants? Or if I out to much it will just eat itself to death? Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply! The link is not working : ( . Whats the percentage that he will stop eating when he/she is full? Because I dont want him/her to die because of over eating?

Also what if I put so much snails in the tank and the snails manage to start breeding inside the puffer tank is that okay for my puffer? Or should I just put enough for him to eat daily?
