Welcome to R2R!

You could try roe? Contact your local seafood market and see if they have it (right now is peak season). It’s nice and small pieces to pick off, but I’ve never had a fish of any size refuse it.

Here’s a kole tang I had sulking after I lured him into a trap using it [emoji23]

Aww how gorgeous is your puffer. Ok amazing I will try that, I love him so much already haha! Yes he is living with a royal grammer and our two clowns, who are all getting along and they all eat fairly, I worry about over feeding him as well. When I give her the shrimp he eats until his belly looks pregnant
That is not my puffer xD my Puffer has been blind since i got him. He is a bit ugly... But he has character! haha Took me a long time to have him trust me and learn how to feed him since he cant see and i am pretty sure his smell is bad..

Hi Soph ! Welcome to R2R .Your porky is cool. Try feeding small pieces of dinner shrimp If you can get head on shrimp that's even better he would love crunching on the shell & insides of a shrimp head.
