Thank you I checked him a few minutes ago and he was pretty fat. So I'll just use bloodworms for now and occasionally introduce new foods.I personally was trying different foods per feeding to see what my puffer reacted to and didn't... once i learned what my fahaka liked, i started with those food sources first to put some weight on my girl...
Then once she got to about 2"-3" or after about a month or so of keeping her, started to once again introduce new foods to her...
As for plecos being sitting ducks... while i agree they can be sitting ducks, i'm guessing having them in the same tank while the fahaka is young may also help the puffer somewhat recognize the pleco as a tankmate more so than a snack...
My pleco has been living with my fahaka pretty much since day 1 (or about 5 years now) and the only nipping happens on his fins when he gets too close... So while i know this maybe an isolated case, i do believe having everyone grow up together may help cut down on their aggression a little...but definitely still a risk...
