Hey Dixon81

I'm surprised he hasn't eaten that Shrimp you've got in there :)

Is it a pet or food?

That cray may have pinched him sometime during the night. How big is that tank & how large is the puffer? Parameters? This is why you shoulnd't start a new thread--you'll need to post all that again here.

No need for worry yet. Annabelle went 3 weeks without eating. Have you tried soaking food in garlic?

Why isn't there any nitrate? What test kits are you using?

I think you just confused her with the ordering (we're used to seeing Ammonia, Nitrite, then Nitrate). :)

There's no specific order, it just happens that way. :D
So is there any update? Is he eating or is he still on a hunger strike?

Still on a hunger strike. I just re tested my P.H. and it was 7.2 so it raised naturally.

The more i read i wonder if my fahaka is constipated
