How to get a dp to eat

[CowMoo]

I got a dwarf puffer today and fed him some bloodworms. He turned his nose up at that. How can I get him to eat stuff.

Live or frozen? Mine will only eat live food. I feed them snails, blackworms, and occasionally brine shrimp.

Mine only eat live and snails. Occasionally frozen, but only if fed with live. Some people "starve" their puffers until they have to eat. I don't recommend that, especially with these smaller fish.

Ok what is the easiest live food to grow. Blackworms?

Personally, I think snails are the easiest. Mostly because they are in all of my planted tanks. I just pluck a bunch out every so often. Blackworms aren't hard to keep but they need their own aquarium.

Mine used to only eat frozen so I mashed up some frozen with freeze dried into a paste and slowly he started eating just the freeze dried
