The Puffer Forum

I have a about 4 inch mbu puffer, he's in my 400 gallon tank! I've had tons of fish/monster fish and everything over the years but never a puffer. Specially a mbu and I'm excited!
My question I have is him being so young and his mouth so small where do I start or what do I start to feed him at this age. I plan on breeding ramshorn snails for him but until that what would be best for him at a young age? Where he wont struggle eating. I have a bunch of raw muscles , shrimp and clams but they seem so big for him. Any suggestions ?

Hi, sorry it took me so long to respond, my internet wouldn't let me in.
Congrats on your new mbu!

No problem at all! Awesome read btw really helpful.
Also how long does it rake for them to adjust he seems SO shy, kinda hangs out at the bottom corner of the tank. It's been about 5-6 days he's only really eaten a little piece of shrimp then the next day had a mussle but didnt wanna eat the other mussle in there
