I did not think they grew that big either, mabe like 3.5" or so?

then again, every time I talk to the guys @ my lfs, they keep telling me they have seen puffers like mine reach 5+ inches, but I'm doubting that.

Just a heads up... Most puffers ( ones I've kept ) take a few days ( up to 2 weeks for my Fahaka ) to get used to their environment and you. Try putting a bit of frozen bloodworms in there every few days until he eats them. Watch him and if he ignores the food, take it out right away.

maybe some pieces of krill might work to?

You can try different foods, but he'll probably ignore everything for a few days. He'll eat eventually and when he does, he'll have a ravenous appetite!
