I got a new pea puffer yesterday and he is the CUTEST LITTLE THING EVER!!!! He's about a half inch long and full of energy and he ate like 4 or 5 snails after he got settled in. I heard something some where about feeding them ghost shrimp and krill too, but is there a pellet or flake that I could feed him?
 
Nice ! I got a trio myself they are very entertaining. Mine never touch pellets or flake but they love snails , blood worms , and occasional ghost shrimp.

Will they eat Malaysian Trumpet snails? Are they Brackish or fresh?
idk really if they will eat them, and they are fully fresh.
 
Pea puffers i don't think normally eat MTS, since their shells are a little too hard for them can actually chip their teeth... so i would advise against feeding them MTS if possible...

As for pellets / flake, its a gamble, you may get a puffer who will take it, or they won't... the only way is to try with a very small amount, and if they go for it great, if not, then i guess you'll have to go with other options...
