Just added a Star and stripe puffer- got questions

[mandibabe]

I just added a star and stripe puffer to my 75 gallon tank and he is about 3 inches. He seems to be shy and shakes back and forth with his head sometimes when he is swimming, is there any thing that I should be worried about is that like odd acting? He seems to be moving freely and seems to be alright. What are a good food to start off with, when being in a new environment?

Not sure about the shaking thing. I feed my stars mussles, clams and shrimp. I buy them from the grocery store.

Here is an article in the pufferpedia about stars & stripes puffers:

mandibabe I hope you do realize that you are going to need a tank 3X that size for your Star and Stripes in the future, (sooner that you think) Good luck with him/her.

I was about to mention the same thing. S&S require very large tanks. :/
