How to get a porcupine short spined to start eating


Recommended Posts

Have had some experience with this fish - mine never liked clams or mussels for some reason. I feed them with dried shrimp (those they sell for feeding arowana) and frozen blocks of mysis or brine shrimp. Recently introduced a rare striped burrfish into my tank - just make sure you keep dangling food when it starts showing interest (swimming in front of the tank or looking at you) They catch on fast. Otherwise live brine shrimp triggers feeding which is what i use to get boxfish feeding.

Yup. big pellets! What I did was when I was QTing the porcupine, I only fed pellets, no choice, it will learn to eat.. Now it loves it so much, feeds from hand and even eat e small pellets on my food timer!
