Is Herman eating???

[alexarae]

Title says it all..how will I know if Herman is eating?
I put some fresh shrimp in his tank and I don't think he even touched it.

Should I be worried that he hasn't eaten in two days? I tried frozen brine shrimp...he didn't eat those either.

I'm getting worried.

how big were the pieces?....
RA didn't like the shrimp until i cut it into small pieces that didn't intimidate him.....but it seems his favorite meal is small slivers of squid.....

Soak it in garlic, that usually helps. It may take him a few days to settle before he starts to eat. This happens often with new puffers. You could also try earthworms or ghost shrimp.

I put a handfull of snails in chubby's tank when I got him and only the ones as big as him are still there. The smaller ones must have crawled out of the tank

So yesterday I put an oversize HOB filter on his 5g isolation tank and added a net full of small guppies. That filter is making Chubby and the guppies dash all around the tank.... I hope the guppies can't jump out of the tank.
