Post by ironbone »

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for but I find that my puffs...except the fahaka, he's never picky...go through phases. For example, my Congo puffer used to be ALL OVER thawed shrimp - now he won't even look at it. My gsp's were the same way when we started feeding them on thawed shrimp. It just took some time since they were used to bloodworms. Eventually they'll figure out that it's food & that they better eat it.
