Feeding ideas for a Valentini Puffer

[jgisler2006]

Hey all,

I have recently added a valentini to my 55 gallon reef. Yes I know this is a lil crazy but so far he has been a model fish. Nips once or twice at a snail/ hermit then leaves them alone. I am however having some issues with feeding...

Everything else is fine with Formula one pellets and freeze dried foods however I know this is not enough for a puffer. I am worried about polluting the water rapidly by using a ton of frozen meaty foods.

Does anyone have any ideas on feeding this little guy in a clean/ convenient way?

Thank you.

I use a plastic eye dropper that is filled with mysis. After a couple days, it became use to the dropper and now takes mysis one by one from the dropper. I was afraid of polluting the tank with excess as well. This way, there are just a few stray shrimp floating around, which the Tomato will gladly eat (after she spits it out 5 times...)
