Re: Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!

Re: Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!
Still no change. He seems drawn to the contact, maybe I’m being naive.

The flow of the filter pushes him in the plants and he hangs up there. I let him...

Re: Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!
I’ve pressed his belly some, but he doesn’t appear to be changing. He seems drawn to it though

Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!
Hi all, I have four PP in a heavily planted Fluval Spec V. I haven’t had any issues for two and a half months, since the puffers were introduced. The water is cycled weekly and gets a monthly dose of nitrifying boost. I also provide a plant boost from my local aquarium store. The puffers are fed fro...
