The Puffer Forum

Whole tank

Maybe he's constipated? Try adding 1 tbsp Epsom salt/10g.

These fish do best with 5 or more but you need a heavily planted tank for it to work.

Please do me a favor & not copy all this in quotes. We are running out of bandwidth here. I have to pay for this forum & the web name myself every year. Maybe consider a donation?

Drawn to what?

Can you gently press on his lil belly?

If your tank is cycled, there is absolutely NO reason to keep adding more bacteria.

You can also try netting the puffer & holding it head up (underwater) & shake it by its tail until it burps out the air.

Lortetis are vicious! I had a female kill 2 males overnight & the 3rd male she killed after spawning with him twice!

What do you mean: "The water is cycled weekly and gets a monthly dose of nitrifying boost."?

I really am at a loss here. Why can't you pull it off with tweezers?

I shipped 2 fahakas to Singapore.

Not that I know, sorry. I don't see your post there?

I think they'll be fine

Can you not remove it with tweezers?
