@BigThangsPoppinMayne: That is dried shrimp on a paper clip hook :) We do feed them frozen (well thawed) brine shrimp and blood worms also.

@glassgirl937 ah ok thanx for the reply! i just got one yesterday i got some dried shrimp at walmart hope he figures out that that's his food and eats it. but thanx for that idea of the paper clip lol i'm gonna try that now

@iankutch Yes his belly is big because he if full. I've only seen this puffer "puff" once and it was clear he was "puffing" --getting larger while i watched. Maybe you should try to separate your puffer during feeding.. good luck!!

Is his belly big because hes full? Mine is doing that and I am worried I am over feeding him. He hogs the food from the other fish so I cant really feed less or they wont get much to eat.
