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!

Re: Fahaka Puffers keep dying
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?

Re: Sick Pea Puffer
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.

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

If you're asking about puffers, not many are safe for corals. I had good luck with a Valentini.
