I picked up my baby dwarf puffer today. So excited. Now I need a feeding question answered. How do I feed him/her? I know to feed bloodworms, earthworms, and snails. I tried feeding some blood worms, freeze dried kind, with some tongs. The puffer just rolled its eyes, went over to the drift wood, and ate a baby ramshorn snail. He did come back and pick at one of the blood worms that was floating around. I waited a couple more hours and dropped a baby earthworm in the tank but he didn't even look at it. I left the worm in there for 20 minutes and then took it out. The puffer was cruising the water lettuce like it was hunting so I set the worm on top of the water lettuce. I just checked and it is gone but I have no idea if the puffer ate it or it is in the tank somewhere. The puffer looks a little thin. His sides seem a little sunken in. He has been exploring the tank and swimming around fine. He was timid at first and would hide behind the driftwood when I came near the tank. He would peak around it and watch me. He is now coming to the front of the tank when I check on him. I have turned the tank lights off for the night and trying to resist checking on him a dozen times.
