The Puffer Forum

I have a fahaka puffer. he is about 3 1/2 - 4 in. i have two questions. first, he is swimming a little odd today. almost wobbly like. a little shaky, if that makes any sense. and he didnt eat as well today. he nibbled at his food and let the rest fall to the bottom of his tank untouched. normally he will scarf down his food.

2nd question. i have a hard time knowing how much to feed him. i try to feed him so that his belly is just a bit rounded, but not too much. somehow he always looks either too fat from food or too skinny if i didnt just feed him.

thanks for your help

I'm moving this the the hospital forum, so you can answer the questions in red.

It sounds like you are feeding your puffer enough food. How often are you feedig? Dos he look skinny the day after you feed him? How long have you had him?
