Yea it's cool, that makes out at about 49 cents a packet! Puffers love chasing them around sucking them up!

As food Brine Shrimp aren't very good, they have very little nutritional value for a puffer as food.

Okay, an update.
SOOOO... I found a place that has live brine shrimp. I fed them to my puffers and as far as I could tell. They didn't bite. I haven't actually seen my puffers eat now in well over a week. Yet, they still have little bellies, so they must be eating a little something...
other then blackworms and brine shrimp? they don't eat much else.
my water chemistry is still good and stable for the last few months. they just don't want to eat anymore or something.

Its a bit worrying that you say you change filters each month. You could be in a mini cycle. What are your water stats?!
