Feeding my puffer

[Cblake007]

whats good to feed a green spotted puffer? i have been feeding frozen krill and he likes it but what else can they be fed?

There are lots of options out there... i feed my puffers a anything from (Defrosted) Scallops, Mussels, Prawns, to (live) Shrimp, Crays, Snails...

Just as a heads up though, feeding Krill isn't too healthy a diet, since there isn't much nutritional value in Krill, plus its the equivalent to crack for fish...

if i feed snails will i get a huge outbreak of them all over the tank? because i would really like to avoid that if possible.

They won't get past the puffer.

As pufferpunk said they shouldn't get pass the puffer, unless you drop in way too many for him to eat in one sitting and they actually get a chance to breed...

i tried at one point putting a lot of them in to see if they would breed in the tank. all i had was a big fat happy puffer with nicely trimmed teeth after a half hour
