It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
Those little white circles look like bites from other puffers. It's pretty common with new puffers.
Are those little white specks sand, or do they not come off?

Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
I know this may sound strange but can we get a head shot while feeding?
The reason I ask is that almost looks like a baby ceylon but my ID skills are not the best. Then again, LFS' are also known to mislabel puffers.

Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
I personally would start a heat/marine salt treatment for ich now while waiting for the IP meds since it will take a couple days for it to arrive. That way you we can check off two possibilities in a shorter amount of time and thus giving us better chance to find out the problem before it gets worse.
Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
it started leaking so i to panik migrate them to a 40 l tank way too small I know but that's what I had..
Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
How do I do that (heat/marine salt treatment??)

Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
Do we know it's ich? Maybe I just totally missed it, but I thought there was no confirmation from Petoj87. Sometimes puffers do just get sand on themselves, and it comes off when they move around.localchili wrote:I personally would start a heat/marine salt treatment for ich now while waiting for the IP meds since it will take a couple days for it to arrive.

Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
Petoj87, are those white spots permanent or were they just sand?LilGreenPuffer wrote:Do we know it's ich?
Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
they are still there and now it seems that he has 3-5 small white dots on him, what should I do?
Re: Green spotted puffer all black?
I have already started adding marine salt to convert the tank to a brackish conditions i don't know my current salinity as my refractometer does not show the lower scales..
Also the fish seem to hover under the filter for extended periods of time is that normal?
