My mbu will! He basically eats anything I put in the water. But, it took about a month for him to eat nonlive food. They can, just takes time. :)

Do they take pellets?

You should make sure to feed him a vitamin of some sort. Mbu's and other puffers tend to die in captivity from bad feeding habits (along with horrible water quality but don't get me started!). Don't just feed him one specific type of meat, mix it up as much as possible. I feed my mbu formula one and two tablets. He can easily eat 8 a day. Along with the vitamins I give him mystery snails, scallops, once a month a crawfish and only a small amount of shrimp. It is difficult to find freshwater invertebrates that they would normally eat in their natural environment. Good luck!

Was in FG at lunch and Don feed him a big ole snail.

He devoured it in seconds. Was pretty amazing what he did to that snail in short order.

You have to post some video of this when you get him settled in.

Its actually really easy to.breed them, all you need is a 30g or so rubbermaid containe, throw a koralia nano in their, and a an eheim 2213 a 50 watt heater, and nothing for decor except for hornwort, and for lighting I would use like a coralife5 no.
They will breed regularly, they lay pods of eggs that look like small raspberries on the side of the container.

Is that what you used to breed your own mystery snails?
