The Puffer Forum

Ok i took a few pictures this morning he was black again... now the quality might not be so good as i was half sleeping
I haven't seen this before but he has 2 circle thingiies on his tail what could that be?

Two more pictures

What are your water params now? He doesn't look excessively skinny.

im not at home right now, after job ill try to get a new test kit and take new readings.. its 09:21 here right now..

According to http://greenspottedpuffer.net/ips.htm the product "Kusuri Wormer Plus For Discus" should be good so i ordered it from http://wormerplus.co.uk/retail_shop/ind ... roductID=5 i should have it at the start of the next week i hope..

Those little white circles look like bites from other puffers. It's pretty common with new puffers.

Are those little white specks sand, or do they not come off?

I know this may sound strange but can we get a head shot while feeding?

The reason I ask is that almost looks like a baby ceylon but my ID skills are not the best. Then again, LFS' are also known to mislabel puffers.

Same water values as yesterday and no3 is between 0 and 12.5mg/l and he is eating well he was lying dark on the bottom again when I came home!

i had big problem with my 250L aquarium

What was the problem?

I personally would start a heat/marine salt treatment for ich now while waiting for the IP meds since it will take a couple days for it to arrive. That way you we can check off two possibilities in a shorter amount of time and thus giving us better chance to find out the problem before it gets worse.

it started leaking so i to panik migrate them to a 40 l tank way too small I know but that's what I had..

How do I do that (heat/marine salt treatment??)

Do we know it's ich? Maybe I just totally missed it, but I thought there was no confirmation from Petoj87. Sometimes puffers do just get sand on themselves, and it comes off when they move around.

Petoj87, are those white spots permanent or were they just sand?

they are still there and now it seems that he has 3-5 small white dots on him, what should I do?

I have already started adding marine salt to convert the tank to a brackish conditions i don't know my current salinity as my refractometer does not show the lower scales..
Also the fish seem to hover under the filter for extended periods of time is that normal?
