Is there a way to teach my puffers to eat ghost shrimp? he doesnt go for them!

Be grateful for having an available scavenger to clean up after a messy puffer. That does seem to another individual thing with puffers, and many DPs do coexist well with shrimp, where others eat them immediately. Mine do not eat shrimp eather - yet.
