my puffer, though patience, now eats anything i give it, i have earned its trust.

anyway heres a video of it eating things. Can you tell me what species it is? and if what i am feeding is adequate?

The NLS pellet is "known" to be highly nutritionally dense and i think should provide enough for it already.
It also seems to really like the flake, also made by NLS

i also feed it snails, but it seems like the NLS pellets are even harder than the snail shells and perhaps can help the puffer with the teeth as well. I havnt had any problems with that yet.

You need more surface flow, maybe an airstone?

I had the filter off for the feeding, i think the flow is not bad.
I was planning on getting a surface skimmer too, might do that!
