Gave them a few days to settle in before trying to get pics... Noticed this one being a little active and got a few pics before leaving for work!
Bought some earthworms from walmart to feed them and they each had one last night... But one of them only ate half a worm so I was worried about them not getting enough to eat... Already tried thawed raw shrimp a few days ago and only one of them ate a piece. Put some ramshorns in the tank, too and I don't think they care for snails this is my first time feeding picky puffs so I'm not sure what to do... When I put the shrimp pieces in front of them, it took a few mins for the one who ate to realize it was food. Same with live worms... I thought they'd go right for them like the dps do with black worms. Should I try crushing a snail so they can smell it?

How active are your turgidus puffers? I tried keeping one for a little while but no matter how much hiding space I gave him and even keeping the lights off for long periods he always stayed hidden. Are yours active swimmers?
