Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have dwarf puffers and the only thing they seem to eat is live food and snails. They refuse to eat any frozen foods I give them. I have tried bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp and beefheart. They nibble, but never seem to eat it. The bumble bee gobies
I am concerned because they are starting to look a bit thin since I have not fed them live food in a month. I was trying to transition them to frozen, but they don't seem to be having any of that idea.
When I first got them about two months ago, they chowed down on live baby brine shrimp and live blackworms and had fat bellys. I fed them two times a week. They also stalk any snail that enters the tank.
To keep them fed, I am pretty much going to the lfs every week and getting a bag of free snails since I can not grow them fast enough. I am also having to drive further to another fish store that sells live brine shrimp and blood or black worms.
I have heard that you can add garlic to fish food to make it more appealing. Is this true? If so, how is this done, fresh garlic juice or actual garlic? Does the oil in the garlic clove matter?
I would like to not have to depend on getting live food every week, as the fish store sometimes has none for a week or two.
