my puffer wont burrow at all, all he does all day is begs for food, and beats up his reflection, oh and when i added salt for the first time he quickly swam into where i was pouring it in and started playing in it

What do you mean by "added salt"? How much? Are you using a hydrometer? Unless you are dissolving it 1st, there is a strong possibility of burning the fish's skin with direct contact with salt.

i wouldnt put dry salt directly in, its disolved in water and yes i have a hydrometer rising it by .002 a week, he swims around in the salty water that i was pouring into his tank

He doesn't want to hit his head on the bottom!
