The Puffer Forum

Hi there. My name is gretchen. I go by powerpuff. I need some help. I have a dwarf leopard puffer. N georgie is anything but dwarf. Hes about 3.5 inches long n stocky, or at least he was. He stopped eatting. For the last 2 days. Swims like hes dazed or confused. Everytime I think hes gonna go for the food he passes right by. I've been treating the tank w melafix n pimafix. The melafix causes a reaction in him as if its irritating him. Not so with the pimafix. Is there a way to force feed him. I've had georgie for 6 years, hes been great. I dont want to loose him if theres something I can do. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Hes in w a foxface.could he have gotten stung??

I never heard of a "dwarf" leopard puffer. Sounds like a Green spotted puffer? Can you post a pic? I'm moving this post to our Hospital forum, so you can answer all our questions above, in red.

How do I upload a photo. Sorry I'm so long in replying. I didnt think my message went through. Hes very large for his species. My friend that sold him to me said he never saw one ge th so big. Yes, I do believe another name is green spotted

You have to upload the photo somewhere like Imageshack & link it here.
