Feeding tips for DP's

I am after any tips on feeding DP's and which other foods for them to eat! I have been feeding mine bloodworm and daphnia because they do not seem to like/accept anything else. Is there anything else that they might like as I am not sure what I can/should feed them apart from the obvious.

Thanks

Dave

Bloodworms are great for dp's. They also love baby pest snails. Those are also very easy to breed.

Mine mostly ate live blackworms and New Life Spectrum small fish formula (a dry, pelleted food, go figure).

Mine live on blackworms, small snails, and occasional frozen bloodworms.

Tiny quickly reproducing snails that fish stores can't get rid of if they try. Usually pond snails or MTS, but sometimes ramshorn. Pond and ramshorn are universally considered prefect for puffers.
