The Puffer Forum

My puffy has had white-ish spots for 3 weeks now. Eating twice a day, no scratching, just these spots. I did go fallow, no fish for a month...could it be somethng else besides ich?

I had an ich outbreak before and these whitish, spots on my baby porcupines fins do not look like ich 'salt' spots. They are more spread out. On all of her fins. Got my puffer a week ago, she eats fine, was hiding today a lot. In my tank I have a foxface. Checked the water parameters and everything ...
