Re: White patch on MBU

I don't think it's a puffer bite, they are usually a whitish circle. It is very difficult to take a chunk out of their leathery, sandpaper skin. Is it getting larger? Fuzzy? I'd just make sure his water is pristine & treat with Melafix to help with the healing.

I find mollies to be mean bullies. Here's a good article on BW tankmates that I helped write: https://badmanstropicalfish.com/brackish-aquarium/

Re: What is this on my Puffers eyes? Photos......

Sorry this too so long to respond to! Having IP issues... He has a severe eye infection. I would do Meth blue dips on him. It would also help if you would answer ALL the questions above, in red. https://www.pufferfishenthusiastsworldwide.com/post/how-to-methylene-blue-baths https://www.thepufferforu...

I'm really sorry but she is just too far gone. I would euthanize with clove oil.

I have a 29g with around a dozen in there & they appear quite happy. PEW is one of the BEST sources out there!

Re: Amazon puffer front fins

I am so sorry it took me so long to respond! I was locked out of the site. How is he doing now? From what I can see, he appears to have ich & a secondary bacterial infection. He also looks quite thin. If he is still alive, I would add Ich-X to his tank & do Methelane blue baths for him. http...
