The Puffer Forum

His color changed from light green/yellow to dark green and black..... and seem to have few white dots over the body and always stay at the bottom of the tank and not moving........
He is about 1inch
i changed 50% of the water today and still nothing improved, is there anything medicine i can add to cure it?

Here are some discriptions of fish disease: http://www.fishyfarmacy.com/fish_diseas ... rders.html

How long has your tank been set up?
What are the water parameters?
How long have you had the gsp?
What size tank do you have?

Here is a link to the puffer library: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/lib ... /hospital/

I hope this helps.

The tank is 10G and set up for few weeks before adding the GSP in it.
I have the GSP for over a week now, and yesterday showing sign of sickness >< like white little spot over the body and just stay at the tank bottom a lot.
The temperature of the tank is about 70F, and i added about 1-2ish table spoon of those salt after the water change.

In this link you will find most of the requirments for a gsp: http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profile ... h/gsp.html

It sounds like the little puff may have ICH. That is just a guess on my part from what you have described. Your tank water temp is to low. It is very important to know your tank water parameters. This will help prevent illness in your fish. You will need a test kit to find out your tank water parameters.

Waiting on the experts here for what they would reccomend for your little puff.

Do u think the water temperature 70F might cause them to get sick?

Here is some more info on ICH: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthyophthirius

Make sure when you add aqua salt you mix it in the water before you add it to the tank as the salt can burn your fish if not desolved. If you think your fish does have ich the treatment listed in the library here would be your best bet. You will also need to make sure your tank is fully cycled to maintain good water quality for your puff.

I did a parasitic treatment yesterday, but still show no sign of improving ><
I used one tablet of "Parasite Clear" from Tank Buddies.

Was the treatment for ICH? What exactly did you use?

What are your water parameters exactly??

I used one tablet of "Parasite Clear" from Tank Buddies and the SG lvl is 1.005 atm, 72 degrees fahrenheit.

No no...like nitrates, nitrites, ammonia etc?
Do you have a test kit?

Your water parameters - pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates...this information will help recognize any other issues going on.

You also need to raise the temp in the tank. 72 degrees is too cold. You want it to be around 75-80 degrees. IMO.

I don't have a test kit for it ><, but after the 50% water change i added one tablet of Ammonia Clear in it.

OK, you need to get reading! We have wonderful articles on:

The Library is located under the Learn tab above. Now go educate yourself!

I'm moving this to the Hospital Forum.
