The Puffer Forum

I guess this belongs here.

My larger GSP who seems to be growing faster than the others. He's about 2" now. The others are still 1.5".
Anyway, he looks really bloated and i can see his anus for the first time. Im guessing its constipation or something.
So, I fed him a pea yesterday, which hasnt helped.
Ive read somewhere I can add epsom salt. I have Aqua Tonic Salt. Is that the same thing? How much should I add?
Is there anything else I can try?

epsom salt is different from tonic salt its cheap enough add 1 tblspoon per gallon to start and plenty of airiation. Although most of the time puffers wil be fine after a few days without

is he going to the toilet?? usualluy classic sighn of constupation is dark almost black waste

I cant get hold of any epsom salt at the moment. The lfs doesnt stock it.
I havent seen him go to the toilet, but then i havent been watching him enough to see.
He does have stress lines along his belly tho.

You can pick up Epsom salt from a local retailer or drug store (it's often advertised for foot baths). It's cheap for a decent-sized bag, too.
