Re: fish?
Feeders are not good for your Fahaka as they are full of fat and not so much nutrients. Your puffer needs a varied diet of things like: snails, mussels, crayfish, clam, shrimp, squid, etc. You must vary the diet as well for the long term health of the puffer. Your crunchy-like foods also keep the puffers teeth worn down preventing you for having to cut them yourself.
Check out the library for articles on feeding for more information.

Re: fish?
like i always say, go to the seafood counter of the nearest raley's, safeway, or other supermarket and get every crustacean and mollusk available, and if you want excitement then get a crayfish

Check out the frozen sea food at your local oriental or asian market! I stock up with 6 months worth of food for like $10 including squid, cuttle fish, shrimp, cockles, mussels, snails, crab, you name it!
