hairy puffer not eating?

Post by iplaydrums1 »

okay so i recently changed the tank my hairy puffer has been in, into a much smaller one. 55 to 29. he definately has enough room, but he hasnt been eating for three days. and he grew a ripple under his chin.

im sure this is normal cause of stress, but any suggestions/comments on it?


p.s. water quality is the same as well, and he has NO tank mates.

He's probably grumpy. They're grumpy fish, and you changed his tank.

I'd give him a week to get over it before I started worrying.
