if you feed them shrimps, do not use the cooked ones - they have lost most of their nutrients/vitamins. Use the raw or uncooked ones - easy to tell - they are not red you can also use uncooked prawns. I usually chop mine into pieces before eeding it to my fish....

Some people report that too much krill can lead to an impacted digestive tract, however I'm not sure if it is more than anecdotal.

I like to feed my puffers a varied diet consisting of:
Shrimp, Lobster, cuttlefish, octopus, mussels, oysters, crayfish, snails, geoduck.

Remember the frozen section in asian supermarkets is your friend.

I had been thinking about a porc. puffer for a while Hubby REALLY liked one in the LFS. I read this thread and they sound like fun so I did more research. After checking out kijiji, one day, I found one! Tonka (because he is the size of my son's old tonka trucks LOL) is soooooo awesome. This thread is correct about the personality of the puff! Mine does not like to be touched ... yet LOL. I am off to the asian market!
