Hairy Puffer off live?

[BOTR]

Never have posted a pic of my Hairy Puffer. Had some extra time, so here's a face shot! Also, has anyone had luck getting them off of live? I know a crayfish every now and then will help with the beak, but anyone have their's on non-live staple?

Thanks,
Chris

I don't have a Hairy Puffer but do have a Fahaka and he has never had live.
Krill, Silversides, Brine, Bloodworms. snails and small crayfish.

You already know the bouncing string trick, now all you need is patience, Grasshopper.

try feeding prawn with the shell on.

I think the problem is, that's all it will eat.

What's the bouncing string trick thingy?

Tie off some dead food to the end of a string. Bounce it around in the water, tricking th efish into eating it. Normaly after a few times of this the fish will respond and hopefully begin eating the offered food.
