Best way to keep healthy fish is with weekly water changes. That being said, I soak all my puffer's foods in liquid vits from the LFS, like Zoe or Vita-Chem.

+1 to PP's comment.

High water quality is very important, primary.

Vitamin soaking all frozen/thawed foods or FD foods before feeding is cheap insurance.
