Juvenile Green Spotted puffer feeding problem, only puffer owners please?

I Bought a GSP and am keeping him in freshwater until i can get him into a brackish tank. Problem is its hard to feed him. I know that they do not like flake, pellet, etc. I have frozen brine shrimp, tiny snails the size of his eye, and tiny gut loaded ghost shrimp. He has only been in the tank two days and i cant get him to eat anything. He doesnt seem to notice it, i have put it right in front of his face and he still wont eat, im wondering if hes worried about the other fish, or if hes still adjusting to the tank. Should i put him in a holding tank to feed him, please help only puffer owners answer this please!
Im really considering putting him into a small holding tank and trying different puffer foods to see if he will eat but i am worried about stress from being caught with my net is this a bad idea?
I know that gsp s dont make good tank mates, im in the process of getting him into his own 29 gallon biocube. I have some loaches, a cichlid, a gouramis, and a few other semi aggressive fish he hasnt eaten any fins yet but he hasnt been in there very long. He is only an inch long and im going to get him into brackish as soon as possible.
Oh and he has lots of hiding places( caves plants fake coral, etc).
