Golden puffer....picky eater

[saltyESQ]

My 9" golden puffer- anthron

seems to love clams on the half shell, formula 1 and free floating mysis(melted from a cube) but not the frozen cube itself.

otherwise, I can't get him to eat anything else. He seems to really avoid eating frozen puffer mix.

any other suggestions?

I give my porc crab legs, mussels, clams, silver sides, and whole shrimp. All soaked in vita-chem, and selcon (rotating)
I also try to sneak some nori into his food where I can.

My porc also has a taste for clams.

Have you tried soaking some prawn in garlic?

Also, try using a feeding stick with a piece of prawn on the end. Rub the prawn against his mouth without stressing him too much though. It may take some persistence but eventually he should bite it...either out of curiosity or frustration. This has worked for me many times but it takes some effort.
