Re: Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!

Still not much of a change. I pulled him out of the plants and got him in a net away from the heavy flow of water from the filter. He did burp out some air when I moved him, so I took it as a good sign. I tried to feed him by hand, but he didn’t take any. He’s just been laying on this leaf, still br...

Re: Dwarf Pea Puffer (upside) Down!!

There’s no change, he’s still alert, floating around the top of the tank and can only make jerky, swimming attempts to the bottom and comes back up. The flow of the filter pushes him in the plants and he hangs up there. I let him...

This is the monthly boost I give it.

I see the link how to burp the puffer, I’m supposed to squeeze this little fishes stomach? I’m not comfortable doing that

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.
