tetraodon leiurus bumps

Post by Mulkxican »

Hey guys!!

Recently my target puffer fish (tetraodon leiurus) has not been eating well and is VERY skinny. Getting light on him directly looks like small bumps all over his body but on internet searches it looks kind of common? Or is this some form of disease?

I believe his tooth is a little long so I plan on trimming that and it may be all the issues but wanted to make sure that the spots isant something I need to worry about!


Thanks in advance with any info you have :) http://imgur.com/gallery/YjedIN2Image

[welcome]
I believe you posted this on the Puffer Enthusiasts group? That's not a leiurus, it's a turgidus. I did offer you the article from here on treating IPs. This species don't usually have dentistry issues.
