The Puffer Forum

Sounds good, I hope it works.

Me too. We have all our fins, paws and fingers crossed for both of you.

Oh, gracious! Poor Weebo! She's so thin! She looks like she's gained weight, as compared to the photo, so that's good. Good luck.

I don't think she's going to make it...she's not coming to the surface anymore and seems to not be able to swim straight. She keeps twirling counter-clockwise. She's puffed up at least three times. She's always lying sideways.

I feel like I should euthanize her because she seems so stressed out. I've done it before with tetras, but I don't think I could do it with her.

She can pull through. Don't give up. Puffers can bounce back from freaking anything.

She died.

I would have had her for a year on the 24th and it's partly my fault that she didn't live longer. Thank you for all your help and support. I guess I was just too late in treating her.

That's awful. I'm so sorry.

i'm sorry for your loss. i wish we could have done more to help, but you did all you could, you were a good owner. hopefully your next try with them ends better. here's an internet hug for you *hug*

Sorry for the loss. You did everything you could.

Thanks guys. I'm going to bury her with my two bettas, Juju and Kissyboots. Thanks for your support.

I probably won't get a new puffer because I don't wan to use the divider anymore. I'm going to plant my tank as soon as I get everything I need. If you want to see it later, I'll post pics and info here http://fishtankkeepers.com/simplemachin ... msg717#new. Thanks again for all your help!

Btw, would it be a good idea to treat the entire 55g? Just to make sure there's nothing left in there?

yes, i would treat the entire tank to be safe. its better to be safe than sorry.

I treated the whole tank two days ago and now my tank is cloudy...? I don't know what would have caused that other than the meds. Can I do anything other than a water change (don't have time today) or is this just really temporary?

could be from the meds, were the meds a cloudy white color? also it could be a bacterial bloom. do you have live plants? it could also be dead plant matter decomposing due to the meds if they happen to kill the plants. i would just do water changes personally.

The meds were pinkish. I dissolved them first (like it said on the package) and then poured them in. I don't have plants in there yet. I can't do a wc today because I have too much homework and classes after lunch. I'll wait and see what happens until tomorrow when I have time.
