My new Porcupine Puffer doesn't eat...

[PufferPuffer]

I got a Porcupine Puffer baby yesterday along with a picasso...

but then...the poor PP seems like very very shy & scare of people...
always hides under the live rocks, swims away whenever i get close to the tank...
and when i tried to feed him awhile ago, it didn't even eat...
:laluot_23: worring about it........><

BTW...
the pica got himself stuck in the live rocks last night...for like 8hrs...

What is the size of your tank?

When did you set up your system

[PufferPuffer]

i set it up...like...about a month now...
the tank is kinda samll for the Procu...just 70G...
i know they need a tank is at least 75G or more...
but the pp is just small baby...so...itz fine...?

he/she is soooooooo shy....wont come out to swim and hide in somewhere under the liverocks all the time....><

only a month old? check your parameters!!! The cycle might not be over yet! And if it is not, puffers are not strong enough to survive in a high amonia /nitrite environment. Take a sample of your water to any fish store (I've had pleasant experience at King Ed, JL).

If everything is good - try silversides. Puffers usually love this stuff. Then you can slowly move him onto mysis shrimps....

Cheers!

PS. 70g is not bad for probably a year or so - depending on how much you feed it :)
