Hi Guys
My Figure 8 only seems to want to eat frozen bloodworms
It doesnt go after the snails i've put in nor the frozen ghost shrimps or even a live lone survivor feeder ghost shrimp
How do i train it to eat the frozen ghost shrimp or the snails?

Should be around the size of the puffer's eye. Try crushing them 1st. What kind of snail?
The snails may be too large.

Horned Nerite Snails and Small Apple Snails.
he did try going after them a few times but stopped after a while. I crushed two and put in but he still didnt take it.
but it's a whole different story with frozen bloodworms. he devours them!
even for frozen ghost shrimp he rushes in to attack and once it gets to the bottom he just nips a little here and there and leaves the majority.
I'm worried that it'll mean i have to do dentistry which i'm not too keen about.
how otherwise can i train him to eat the snails or the shrimps?
