Dwarf puffer feeding

Post by MMaddox »

My girlfriend has three dwarf puffers that won't eat anything except blackworms and snails - any ideas on getting them to accept frozen foods, without slowly starving themselves?

Thanks!

Have you tried frozen blood worms? You can hold them with tweezers initially in the tanks current to make them look like they are alive.
