Pufferfish and zebra eel feeding

btackerman · Jun 17, 2021

I have just purchased a large Guineafowl puffer and a large zebra moray and the both are eating clams like crazy but I know with majority of fish need a varied diet, also they are both very passive. What do you guys feed your zebras and puffers and ensure they get their food?

We have a dog face and a snowflake eel that we feed a variety of clams, silversides, squid, predator mix frozen food, raw shrimp, and the puffer will eat pellets too.

About how much do you feed the puffer. Mine isn’t about 10” now and isn’t the most aggressive when it comes to feeding but want to be sure he is benign fed enough or I a more not over feeding the tank.

We feed him as much as he will eat then drop a few extras in. We have several very large hermits that help with the over feeding. He will usually eat three or four 1/2 chunks.
