My green puffer fish wont eat, I got him 5 days ago. I tried feeding him small snails,?

brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. All the other fish in my 55 gal tank eat it up and he wont pay attention to the food. He swims around the tank and doesn’t seem sick. I have started brackishing the water have live plants, hiding places etc. I dont want him to die. Help. His tank mates are 2 silver dollars, 2 kissing fish, a pleco and 3 mollies. I looked at his teeth and dont seem overgrown in any way. He is still very small about 1 inch and his belly is white.

Feeding Fish help?!? (Brine Shrimp)?

I have 2 bala sharks that are about 2-3 inches long and 2 silver dollars also about 2-3 inches long. The fish get a long great and have now started to swim all together. I have been eeding them flake food, and usually the freeze-dried bloodwarms. I just bought some freeze-dried brine shrimp today. I did not notice however when I bought this fish food that they are large bits, kind of the size of doog food. I do not know if the fish just nip at it until it goes away, or if I should cut the food into smaller pieces. Please help me.
should I just feed them the brine shrimp not the flake food, if I decide to feed them the brine shrimp?
