What's a Dino? Try soaking hisfood in garlic. Have you tried an earthworm yet?

Dino is the hairy puffer's name. Demon, my red congo puffer, ate two crayfish and then didn't eat anything for about a week after I got him. Then, all of a sudden, he started eating almost anything I gave him. As for Dino swimming around really fast after he was completely still, he was probably just sleeping and you startled him. Also, the eggs are probably from the snails. Finally, are the cories food? If not, how do you get Dino not to kill them??? When I put Demon in his current tank(which is next to my 50 gallon) he wouldn't stop trying to attack my angelfish in the tank next to him for three days!
