Mine eat live shrimp. I breed my shrimp otherwise it would cost a small fortune. I feed mine shrimp pellets and freeze-dried brine shrimp. I tried feeding them flakes but they just ignored them.

It depends on the Puffer. Some puffers (like the Green Spotted Puffer) are omnivorous and will eat any plants put in the tank. Other puffers, like the Dwarf Puffer need a very heavily planted tank to feel safe and secure. Puffers are happy as long as there is a lot of decor to explore and places to hide. -Hannah- GreenSpottedPuffer.net

Will a male green spotted puffer fish eat the eggs?

Green Spotted Puffers (and most other puffers) are nearly impossible to breed in captivity, and exact procedure has never been recorded. It's thought that the female will lay her eggs on a slate stone and the male will fertilize and fan them with his tail, not much else is known. But it's entirely possible the male will eat the eggs, and the young. GreenSpottedPuffer.Net
