I bought a leopard puffer yesterday. I fed him a half cube of frozen brine shrimp this morning, but when I got home today his belly was brownish and he appeared to be scowering the floor for food. So I gave him a half cube of frozen bloodworms - which it voraciously tore apart. So I gave it the other half cube - same deal.
Is it normal for these guys to eat this much in one day? I literally just fed him what my two African Cichlids eat in 3 days (separate tanks)

Re: Leopard Puffer Feeding
Welcome. Puffers are greedy and will constantly beg for food, when the begging fails they will search for anything edible.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
