When did you feed him the ghost shrimps? He might just not be hungry yet.

Does he completey ignore the krill? Try offering some other foods as well.

Skipping feedings for a few days might work, just dont go too long.

If that doesn't work, garlic juice can stimulate apetite.

How big is your dogface puffer?

Your puffer needs a more varied diet anyway. Let him get hungry & check out the articles on feeding puffers, in our Library.
