Hello !
Today i'd clean the aquarium and change water. Tomorow morning i'll buy pimafix melafix and flubendazole. I have found metronidazole in my medecine cabinet. I hope my fishes will survive until tomorow !
And no, unfortunately, my hair are not green IRL...

Clean water heals skin problems, and Melafix and Pimafix are good products to use if you can find them. I'm not sure what would cause a skin issue like that, other than dirty water, but you say you have 0 nitrates?
You probably want to deworm them, they are all very skinny, even the one's who look like they've just eaten.. big potbellies but skinny/bony bodies. What are you feeding them?
These are fat and healthy dwarf puffers, do you see the difference?
Hey Myaj
Sorry this is a bit off topic but are these 2 pictures of a Male and a Female Dwarf Puffers?
If so which is which?
I would like to get some and just wanted to know for when I go to the lfs
Thanks
Females tend to have white bellies and are much rounder than the male. As for males, they have wrinkles/lines around the eye area ( like the second pic in this post). The males have a dark line that runs down their belly (their bellies have more yellow coloring as well. I don't think it's possible to tell the sex of DP's when they're very young, it's not until they're older that you can sex them. Hope this has helped

They look wonderful now! I'm glad to hear you can get those products in Europe. Great colors on your little puffers.

Looks good - make sure you repeat the flubendazole in a week, and then two weeks after that. It's got no real negative side effects for fish, and is cheap, so many people just treat weekly for 5 or 6 weeks to make SURE sure - I believe Hilly did this with his Sabahensis, and I have done it with Shakespeare and Jillybean.
