puffer is doing great,was swimming around yesterday but still seems a litle sick,he's getting better though.

the water is fine,last friday he suddenly started swimming up and down like something was wrong,i wasen't there to see.And to he's still lying on his side,moving his eyes around but there's still a cist like bump on his side above his stomach behind his fin what kind of disease are these fish known ...

I noticed it on friday ,thursday it was fine,i fed him krill and on friday he was puffed up and then he deflated looked very sick,so i emoved the carbon and added pimafix,so far he's still breathing but lying on his left side and on his right side he has a bump,what can i do?

He's doing alot better,for 2 days he didn't eat cause he was in bad shape,today he's alot more active and as soon as i put food in the aquarium he swam up to eat right away,his fins are growing back and those bite marks are going away.

do you guys think he'll survive?

this is what he looks like today: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/1sttimer/Damien015.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/1sttimer/Damien014.jpg [/img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/1sttimer/Damien014.jpg[/IMG] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v458/1sttimer/Damien012.jpg [/img]...

should i get a female?

well they are harassing each other,look at those bite marks.
I'mthinking of trading the agressive one for another or just giving him back and keeping only one.

should i trade in the agressive one for another or just bring him back and keep only one?

can i feed my puffs guppies?

I may want to add that i just got them 3 days ago.My aquarium is very well decorated with plants,they just sit under the plants for the most part of the day,but when i feed them they come out and eat.

My puffers have a red dorsal fin and red tail,is it for sure a irrubesco?
by the way,is it normal they're not very active fish?
