I got a dogface puffer and a tang about a week ago. Neither would eat for the first few days but I got my tang eating with some frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and plankton. My puffer took one small bite out of a chunk of frozen plankton but wouldn't touch anything else. So far that one bite is all she's eaten.
Ive tried putting in larger chunks, smaller chunks, letting pieces float by her mouth, and she just isn't interested. I know it can take time for new fish to start eating but its been a week?
Could she be ill? Mostly she sits curled up near things in the tank but occasionally I see her move about the tank a bit. I thought dogfaces were supposed to be very shy so I haven't been worried until now. Also sometimes it looks like she's sneezing/hiccuping? Is that normal?
