Finnicky fish not eating garlic no help?

[xxnonamexx]

I have a big sized puffer and a small snowflake eel and a blue trigger. This has been a week and the puffer has eatern 3 small shrimp size of a dime all week. I tried soaking everything in garlic and even tried feeding little neck clams and he ate one all week. The eel I noticed has slowly come out to eat and the trigger but what can I do to get this puffer to eat. I tried a few different foods. Thanks

Try to find live shrimp.

Have you had the fish a while and all of a sudden not eating? If so the fish may be sick.

1week they eat very minimal. Where can I get live shrimp? They will probably be big

try live brine you can get it at almost any lfs also you can try raw clams, how long have you had the fish did you just get them or did you already have them and they stopped eating, also what are your water parameters?

Most lfs should have live brine shrimp... Sounds odd but if any pet stores near you carry meal worms they may work until you,can find some live marine food. I'm just guessing dont hold me to it.

get some feeder fish like mollies, if you cant get live shrimps. You can fatten the mollies with some food before feeding them to your fish.

I don't have a puffer or trigger but my moray eel is kinda silly to eat
as soon as food is dropped in the tank he goes crazy swimming around like crazy but food pas his path and it seems like this eel is stupid I have to hand feed my moray eel everyday I basically like a baby

Moray eel has poor vision they use smell to find food. That's why goes crazy when you drop food in, cause can't see only smell. Shut off flow when feeding. I used to feed live fish and always caught them
