TOPIC:1: What are some good plants and tank mates for a 20 gallon figure 8 puffer.
TOPIC:2: on the day that my year old f8 puffer is not fed he developed a misshaped belly and the belly area has bumps, I do not think it has parasites because some weeks it goes away and is not visible and on others it is lumpy again, is this normal?

Re: fig 8 puffer care
20g isn't large enough for tank mates. Some plants that do well in low-end brackish water are java fern & java moss.
I would need a photo to determine the lumps.

Re: fig 8 puffer care
It tales me some time to approve posts, as I am the only one moderating this site. My only guess is these lumps are food, since they go away the next day.
