i think my fish is starving itself

Question
i have 2 green spotted puffers. they eat flakes and shrimp pellets...well one does. one is very fat and healthy (and they live together so i dont think the tank as a disease) and the other refuses to eat at feeding time it swims towards the food then swims away and eats nothing. its body is concave and it grows thinner and thinner i can see its bone structure. i really dont want it to die. what should i do?

Answer
Hi Andrea,
  I think you need to separate it.  My guess is that the other puffer is intimidating it.  You might try feeding it frozen blood worms or frozen brine shrimp to fatten it up.
