Blue Pelagic puffer only eats live

Post by Capt Bill »

My new to me juvenile blue pelagic is doing well. Stays on he surface, love the current in his face. He will only eat live brine, ghost shrimp, and live white/black worms.

Are there any tips or suggestions to getting him to eat frozen. I have tried fresh mussels, clams. tried frozen krill, chopped clams, prime, formula one, brine, squid , angel butterfly, and a few others. Also tried 4 or 5 different pellets and two types of roe. He turns his nose up at all of it.
