Got 2 skinny puffers that I rescued. One is smaller but slightly plumper and the other one is tummy tucked.
I'm feeding them on cockle meat, frozen brine shrimp and frozen Mysis.
I have treated them both for internal parasites and just need to know the qickest way to fatten them up!!

Please help!! Thanks
 
You don't want to "quickly fatten them up" any more than you'd do this for a human being who was half-starved.

Just feed normally, and provide a balanced rather than especially protein-rich diet. Fish are very good at getting through lean periods, and given good conditions, quickly recover. Bloodworms, mysis shrimps, krill and small pieces of white fish are all good foods for small puffers. If there are some live snails in the tank, so much the better.

Cheers, Neale
