Re: What do BBGs eat?
I hope that nobody here feeds either brine shrimp routinely or flake food to puffers. Neither is a suitable routine food for any puffer or for BBG.

Re: What do BBGs eat?
Yes, but do try to get better food ASAP after that. Have you read the Library articles on puffer-feeding?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: What do BBGs eat?
Brine shrimp, live or frozen, is a great appetite stimulant but nutritionally is quite poor.
