The Puffer Forum

O thats a good idea. ive seen some that are smaller spots.
but the biggest one doesn't have any. and ive only seen the big one attacking others. ill give that a try.

hmm well the male puffer's back is turning all red. like its ready for breeding or something.

im using a 100watt heater in my 20 gallon.

but there is an update. they are still eating and the patches are turning more white. like dead skin type of white.

should i just try a broad spectrum antibiotic?

ill try. im pretty sure its not fungal, but im assuming fungal looks fuzzy. this is for sure not fuzzy. if it is bacterial should i keep using pima and melafix? ive also got formalin 3 and methylene blue on me and prazipro.
