I recently got a new puffer fish it is a tetraodon cochinchinensis and i am having trouble getting him to eat the shrimp I am providing. any suggestions on getting him to eat?
He is currently being housed by himself.
They absolutely love snails. Any hard shelled food item. Fish dont starve themselves so he should eventually should eat. Unless theres a medical issue or something, but he looks pretty Healthy to me. Live food should spark his interest.

beautiful pics, but he looks like a sad puppy. may be in shock from the move, especially if he's really small. try live brine shimp or really small feeders, but give it 3 or 4 days.
he looks ok, as long as he's not breathing hard, check for white spots on the fins which would indicate ich.
probably live ghost shrimp would be the best teaser, i doubt he'll refuse those for long. he looks ok, this type of puffer tends to sulk initially when new to an environment.
