Best Diet of Prepared foods for a Porcupine Puffer& other ?s

Post by esine »

Hi,
My puffer seems to have no problem eating. I just don't know what the right foods are. I have krill (not for him), squid, clams, clams on the half-shell, mysis shrimp, and silversides. A lot of people have told me to feed him snails, but I don't know what kind. He seems to have a hard enough time eating the clams. Also I know puffers need to sharpen there teeth, but what about a PP's grinding plates. How do porcupine puffers do with triggers, eels (Gold-spotted moray), and angels (Passer/ King Angel)?
Thanks,
Eric

Are you breaking the clams open for him to eat the meat? He will scrape his teeth against the shell doing that.
