krill is not good for puffers. It can cause lock jaw if feed to much

Make sure the shrimp is not cooked (make sure it is not pink colored)

How are his fins doing?

Have you named him yet?

For fun, you can also feed him crab legs to help with the beak. Hammer them a little and then let him nibble a small section of the crab leg..

ok thats good. You should try to get some snails to feed him too, maybe use the old 5g as a snail breeding tank

the five gallion was a friends i have a three galion that i probly can use for that but i dont know any thing about breading them

some water and a cheap filter(small sponge filter would be awesome) other then that all you need is snails and some food. And for food, algae wafers, fish flakes, some veggys will be good. Snails are super easy to breed
