Hi there I have moved your thread to the hospital section. Pleasea answer all the Questions in red above your post and we will be able to help more.

For the record feeding them 6 days a week is a bit excessive anyway, most people recomend once a week as fine for these types of puffers, many of them can happily go without food for 2 weeks. The main concern is what you are feeding. Krill is notoriously poor in it nutritional value, the best thing to feed them is mussels and prawns. If you haven't had the puffer long it could be down to many thing, answeer the Q's above and we'll help you a bit more
