Puffer too busy to eat

[sssnake]

My new blue-stripe puffer (toby) is too busy nibbling on the rock to notice the food I place in the tank.

It's been 4 days now......am I worrying for nothing?

Mine was doing that at first aswell. I just started making the food (krill) splash pretty good when i put it in the tank to get his attention, and he would go straight for it. i sometimes put a little garlic on his food also. he loves it. He enjoys a good assortment of Krill, shrimp, carrots and peas etc. Just be carful on over feeding him, they are gluttons =)

If that doesnt work you could try some live feeder shrimp. Gizmo (my puffer) loves chasing those little guys around.

G'luck
