Figure Eight Puffer Not Eating/ Sickness?
My F8 puffer has been in his new brackish tank for a week now and has done fine so far. He will eat the small snails immediately as soon as I drop them in the tank. However, he does not seem to care for or eat much of the frozen brine shrimp that I put in as his main food source. Today I woke up and he has been very inactive(sitting in the plants or on the ground the majority of the time and only swimming every once and a while) He usually is very friendly to me and swims up to me as soon as he sees me and he has not been doing this today. I went out and bought frozen bloodworms today and put them in there a few minutes ago and he hasn’t done anything with them yet. Every once and a while it appears as though he coughs and his skin looks a little bumpier than it has previously. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening to him? Can anyone with personal Figure 8 puffer experience help me out?

picky puffer?
I have had a figure 8 puffer for about a month now, and all he will eat is live ghost shrimp, feeder guppies, and frozen krill. I have tried everything else; daphnia, brine shrimp, blood worms, etc. Nothing works! he just turns his nose! Its so frustrating because not only are his favourite foods more expensive and more difficult to keep around, but I want to make sure he has a varied diet, but he does not agree with that! Does anyone know of anything else I can feed him, or any way I can make other foods more enticing to him? Thanks so much!
Oh, and I forgot, he also OCCASIONALLY will eat live snails.
If I breed guppies for him, should I breed fancy guppies or feeder guppies? (he enjoys both very much lol )
