Puffer rubbing his body up against stuff.
Puffer rubbing his body up against stuff.
My puffer keeps rubbing the side of his body against stuff in the tank, always his right side. He also let himself get sucked to the filter for a second, then he swims away (on his right side) Any suggestions?
Re: Puffer rubbing his body up against stuff.
I believe in another post you stated that your puffer had ick. Rubbing it's body is a sign of ick. Keep up the ick treatment here is a link for treatment library/hospital/swich. I believe you have your salinity at 1.010 brackish so someone please correct me if I have given the wrong link for the treatment. It stays in the system for at least 4 weeks even if the fish show no signs. Also getting that tank cycled will also help. Good luck.

Let's keep the thread about ich & lock this one, so posters advising you won't get confused.
