Hawaiian puffer fish male!!

[rssjsb]

My solorensis started eating frozen mysis when she saw my toby do so. Maybe being in the tank with other fish who eat will help. I would keep trying gut-loaded live brine and blackworms to see if you can get a response. My boxfish also loves frozen angel formula with sponge.

Good luck.

Well added the yellow box on sunday which started feeding stright away no fighting

But still no joy with the hawwian its been 14 days now and its looking thin!! still active tho i have been adding every food i can think off and have been leaving a kebba stick loaded with prawns clams and mucle but i dont think its taken any

I know this is a really old thread but can you give an update? I assume he never ate and you lost him a few days later? I am on day 13 with mine and I have offered almost everything possible and he shows no interest.

live bloodworms and clams i was told might help

Sorry to hear but thanks for replying. Did you ever try keeping another one? I really love this fish.
