Edible Friends Question

[Fish Eat Fish]

Ive got a Green Spotted puffer. I added some guppies to feed it once and it ate a few but left the rest alone. Now I have twice as many guppies and the puffer leaves them all alone. I will be soon be away from my tank for a peroid of time long enough that my puffer will need to be fed. My question is will the puffer eat some guppies when he gets hungry or will he just starve to death while being surrounded by food?

Fish don't voluntarily starve

If he's hungry he just may eat the lot of guppies. He may also not view them as food.

So you think for sure that it will eat the guppies when it gets hungry even though it hasnt touched one for 3 months? I hope this is true because it will make me feel much more at ease while im away.

Any other opinions?

dont feed him for a couple of days and try. that will tell you if he will eat when your away

eventually he will eat the fish once hungry enough...
