i just got a fahaka puffer i had for about 2 weeks now he is about 2 inches , and i can already say that this one of the best fish i had ....he chases my fingers , he ripes off the faces of feeder fish and eats them later. he swims around alot and he is a beutiful color....right now he is eating shrimp and feeders he wont touch the beefheart or blood worms can someone give me somemore ideas on what to feed him
Snails. Hard shelled crustaceans would be good for him. mussels? Get some pics up.

feeder fish are the worst possible thing you could feed your fahaka. If you want to watch him eat live food buy him crayfish. He needs foor with shells. shrimp, mussels and clams are good too snails are not to bad.

raw shrimp, or cooked shrimp, and is guppies good as well?
Raw shrimp. No feeder fish. Fahakas aren't one of the puffers that are piscivores. Cockles, Mussels, snails, hard shelled foods are essential for the teeth. Shrimp Bloodworm, Krill. There is plenty of variety.
