I’m trying to get my Amazon puffers to eat a more hard shelled, varied diet. They have an appetite for brine shrimp, bloodworms, and mysis, but that’s it. One takes snails, and I’ve occasionally seen them go after scuds.
Recently they’ve even refused repashys...that seemed to coincide with my acara’s death (the glue that held the tank together).
I have tried river shrimp and bugs, and they don’t care (funny that that is their natural diet).
Is there any way to boost their appetite for the foods they aren’t accustomed to? I’m starting to really see teeth and the fish are way to small to cut them.
Do I just starve them until they eat what I want, or would garlic and bloodworm juice (how do I even get that) work?
Thanks in advance!
