I just rescued an arrowhead puffer and while I've been able to find what to feed and how often, I don't know how much. Could anyone tell me how much I should be feeding him?
He's about 4-4.5"
TIA

Feed every other day just until belly is slightly rounded. What foods do you have
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

I found some small crawfish, freeze dried krill, and frozen whole shrimp. I was keeping mollies in the tank just to keep it cycled, but their numbers have diminished from 9 to 2 as of this morning.bertie 83 wrote:Feed every other day just until belly is slightly rounded. What foods do you have
