The Puffer Forum

I got a dwarf puffer on Saturday. He had been at the fish store for 5 weeks before I got him and was eating bloodworms only. I have tried bloodworms and brine shrimp and have not seen him eat one. Sometimes he chases a little, then just swims away. I end up picking them all up at the end of the night. The shop said he was treated for worms before they came in and since he has been there for 5 weeks he must have been eating fine. Could he still be settling in after 5 days? Can he starve even though there is food sitting there for him? Thanks.
