Hi Razor
did you say 60 litres ?? If so the tank is way too small for all the fish you have in there,
in a nutshell there will be way too much fish pee for the filter to deal with !! I keep 4
dp's (each smaller than yours) in a 125 litre tank with wood and plants.
Your puffer needs at least that tank to himself, and I would suggest another 20 litres
to be safe, can you move him or the other fish ? it's not your fault you have been "mis-sold" a puffer, you are
obviously doing everything you can, jeez drives me nuts when stores just do anything for a sale !!!
You need to move some of the guys out, your puff will then have the room to establish his territory, enjoy
the enhanced security and water quality and you will see him thrive !!
sorry to sound so negative .......
