I just got a pair of dwarf puffers,
what is small enough for me to feed them other than blood worms

Baby snails, small bits of krill or plankton.

Mine have eaten live blackworms, frozen bloodworms, pond snails, ghost shrimp, mysis shrimp and daphnia.

My DPs get live blackwormsn common pond snails, and rarely bloodworms (I am becoming, or have become, allergic - they will not be stocked in the future). Mine do not eat any shrimp. I have not tried other crustaceans - I do not wnt to give the DPs any hints.

Well, I didn't actually mean to feed them to mine. They took it upon themselves to eat my cleanup crew. :lol:

That is why I don't offer any custaceans to mine - their ignorance is my bliss... I need the cleaning crew.

I feed mine soaked forzen mysis, soaked krill, blackworms and occasionally some spirulina enhanced brine.

(Soaked I mean as in defrosted in Garlic Gaurd & Zoe as well as a little tank water)
