Puffer eating dry food

My F8 puffer keeps eating the dry pellets that are meant for the other fish. I'm afraid he will die from overeating if I put anymore in the aquarium and he always eats first and all of it.

have you tried a feeding ring at the opposite end of the tank?
It may work...

These are pellets. They fall to the bottom right away.

What BW fish would that be?
One of the many reasons it is recommended to keep puffers in a species only tank.

Use a tank divider when feeding, or something to isolate your puffer from the other fish while they eat.
