1 year old pea puffer alone in a 10g tank with fake and real plants.
0 ammonia
0 nitrite
0 nitrate
Water changes 1 gal/day
bloodworms and snails on occasion
Puffball is suddenly darting around and not eating well, like the time when his ammonia level was higher due to filter failure (my part). Any ideas

Re: Pea puffer seems in pain
What test kit are you using? Maybe try larger WC.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
