What can I feed my figure 8 pufferfish? Are mealworms or tilapia safe?

Question

Hello. Can I feed a figure 8 pufferfish live or dead meal worms? Or frozen thawed tilapia? Live feeder fish? Ghost shrimp? Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out about your pufferfish. Meal worms are bags of fat and should be used as treats only. Frozen thawed tilapia is okay, but no bones thus a reverse calcium-phosphorus ratio. Ghost shrimp okay, live feeder fish okay but pufferfish not super fast. Small clams or snails are a good source as also require chewing to get into. Pufferfish have dentition that can overgrow is not chewing a lot. Good luck.
