I just got him in a 5.5 gallon for my room the other day. I've tried very small feeder snails. My LFS even held 20 ghost shrimp fry for me so they would be small enough.
Well 4 shrimp were released 4 days ago and he didn't touch them. He finally ate a snail the other day. He's even slow to eat blood worms.
He moves around fine and water is suitable for a puffer. I just never thought I would see the day where a puffer, of all fish, wouldn't be eating crustaceans. I went back and asked them what they feed them but the guy didn't know and manager was not there.
Will he eventually come around? I was just thinking since puffers are so intelligent and curious that he won't be like that forever
