I accidentally discovered Griffie (my puffer) preferred frozen cubes when I put a couple of entire cubes of squid/mysis out for the rest of my fish. He prefers frozen cubes, and I find it more easier for my system to blend and add supplements to his food and freeze it. I do not have much waste at all since the other fish gobble up what comes out of his gills. I find my copperband butterfly and cleaner wrasse go crazy over it as well as my aussie and banana wrasses, angels and almost everybody else. In the end I find it is less harsh on my bioload and I have no chunks of shrimp or other seafood on the sand.
Griffie was tough to feed at first and now he will eat forever. People come in are awestruck about how much this guy can pack down in a serving. I stop before he wants me to stop.
I guess it goes to show fish do have personalities and like or dislike things many other fish may or may not eat. I add his supplements right into the blender so it does not wash off while it is floating and he has benefited from it as well as all my other fish.
For my guys, this is the only way I will feed them and it works for us. I never have debris on the bottom of my tank feeding this way like I did with the conventional method.
