Give him time to know that he is safe & I think you'll have your very own wet puppy in no time!

Might as well treat the entire tank with the SW form of Ich-x.
Do you have lots of caves & swim-thrus for him to hide out in? In all my years of scuba diving, I rarely saw them out in the open during the daytime.

Never raise the temps. Did you try the Ich-x in normal tropical temps?

Why lower the temp? I would think that would stress the immune system more. Kanaplex is not helping? Did you use the Ich-x at full dosage?

This species is very prone to Velvet.

I had one that died 3 weeks after I purchased it. I cut it open and found a hard liver inside. It died of fatty liver disease probably because it was fed goldfish at the store I bought them from.
I'm sorry for your loss!

You need to deworm them all. Use Pazii Pro

I would definitely try a different source. No 1 food should be a staple in a fish's diet. How did they look when they died? What exactly were your water parameters?

That could be the spin of death. I hope she makes it.

It is possible she isn't thriving because they prefer to live in groups of 6 or more. All her diet consists of are snails? Try feeding bloodworms or blackworms to bulk her up.

Going slow... It's just me now. Much more is going on in the Facebook forum.

What a lovely long life they had! Sorry about your pup, too.

Wait until you move, have a cycled tank (it takes some time to set up a marine tank) & then buy your puffer.
