what do you feed yours??

Snails, frozen shrimp, crawfish (not very often), goldfish........I just got my Mbu Puffer eating Massivore Pellets

Goldfish are the absolutely worst thing you can feed to your puffer.

Goldfish are the absolutely worst thing you can feed to your puffer.

Why is that? And I'm not trying to be a smart ass, I'm asking because I don't know. I've only had my Mbu since November but in that time frame, I've only given him goldfish 3-4 times

They are diseased, high fat, low nutrition & contain high levels of thiamine.

Fish in general not really meant to be on a puffers diet. Stick to all the other things though.
