Maybe mix the the kril with mysis shrimp or brine shrimp.

Is he being bullied by the other fish? It might not be the best tank for him...

My puffers get a mix of fresh raw shrimp, salmon, nori (yes they LOVE their dried algae sheets) and krill. Every now and then I try other things (fresh clams, oysters, etc)...their colors really intensified after I started the fresh raw shrimp diet and nori combination. They have more than doubled in size for the most part. The Stellatus has grown the most - when I got him, he was literally the size of a nickel. Now 4 months later on the above diet - he is literally about 6 inches and very plump and happy...

I think puffers that will grow to eventually monster status, do it quite quickly, as the FW fahaka & mbu.

Frozen Mysis finally changed him. Now he's off of the fresh water fish and is eating like a pig. I've got a sailfin in with him now and they get along great. I throw him strips from raw prawns, frozen krill, and clams. Thanks for all your help!

Fantastic!
