The Puffer Forum

Ive got a similar puffer with a similar problem, I doesn't have the white specs which i think are ick but it does have the bruseish look all over his belly and back, I've only had him for a few days and hes in a quarantine tank, any idea what it is?? or is it just from the stress?

oh medication, melafix, its supposed to encourage fin growth and heal the open wound

i ammonia cycled my tank,
specs in both tanks identical
temp 78f
ph 7.1
sp1.011
filtration in the main tank is a aqua-tech 5-15
second tank isn't filtered right now, just a bubble rock

will try to find get picture in the near future, cant find my camera right now

Long story short, i had started to set up a tank. Was in the process of setting up a brackish water tank. Cycled the tank, took forever, and had just planted the plants and set up the rocks when to my surprise my wife came home with fish. Cool, a little early but cool none the less. Come to find out...
