Without more information we cannot help.

What kind of puffer? What are the water parameters? Is it an isolated spot or are there many white spots? How long have you had the puffer?

We'd like to help but need more from you.

I think it is just the spines, all puffers have spines.

What is the specific gravity in the tank? Are the spots on his fins too?

I'll get Tihsho..his Italian's fluent and he's got back recently. Opaca is opaque...cloudy...this doesn't look very good.

Che è la sua gravità specifica della sua acqua attualmente? Lei potrebbe affiggere anche i parametri di acqua (l'ammoniaca, il nitrito, il nitrato, e l'esponenete di acidita')?

Questo ci aiuterà trova una cura per il suo puffer.
