It is when the puffer matures that it becomes aggressive. Most puffers will not eat flake or pellet food. Rather, this puffer will feed on algae, small invertebrates and plant matter. You can also provide dried bloodworms. This puffer’s teeth will continuously grow and become health problems. For grinding the teeth down, you can put crushed coral sand in the bottom of the tank as well as offering snails and ghost shrimp.
