Needs some tips on this fish

[nemosluckyfin]

Hello Everyone,
Well it finally happened, the local fish store finally got a valintini puffer after over a month of me waiting. However, before I go out and purchase this little fella, i had some questions. What do they eat? I currently feed my fish nori, flakes, and mysis. Are they peaceful? And is it true that they need hard food to wear down their teeth? Also any other things I need to know about them?
Thanks,

I have a blue spotted toby puffer. He is probably one of my most entertaining fish. Mine eats just about any frozen food big enough for him to target and grab. He even eats nori. I feed him frozen prawns, scallops, clams, oysters, mysis shrimp, live adult brine shrimp, live ghost shrimp, squid, etc. Mine is fairly peaceful with the exception of a few nips at corals and one of my urchins. As long as you keep him fed it should not be a problem. Yes, it is true that they need hard foods to wear down their ever-growing teeth. You can use clams, mussels, oysters, shrimp, etc for this.
