No more crazy swimming puffer (fahaka)

I turned up the heat, and that larger tank definately helped...
He swims....eats.....lays....repeat.
Love those lazy guys. hes super active in the morning looking for something to chomp on .
I turned the heat up a bit more to 80 degrees, and i put the heater right by the filter, so its moving att the heat around better...hes doing great.
that white ball on his tail looks like its moving like down to the end. it might be like a crazy weird growth or a parasite..but..its only on the tail..as he swims its moving away from the body..kinda weird.
I am not going to treat the tank unless he starts showing some signs of sickness.. he is doing really good though.
swimming around chasing the one guppie he had left. hahaha.
I think the actual problem was the other tank he was in..at the LFS. He was in with 2 other puffers of the same species, and they were all just laying there in this cold water.
I was askin for trouble bringing it home..but do u know how hard it is to find cool puffers in michigan>?? I called at least 10 stores and breeders looking for one.
I just LOVE him. very cool.
