The Puffer Forum

I just got hired for me 3rd dentistry job. Hopefully he'll start posting here. Maybe we'll take some pics.

Good job pp. I dont know if i could do that, scary. Its one of those classic if you know whwt you are doing then fine, if you never done it before ooooh scary. You could be of use to any member in your area. Good on you

PP did a real good job on my puffer twice THX again Jeni.

Thanks for adding to my resume! Is that the fellow you tried bringing down south?

Yeah, that's the one

Trimming went very well but I'm afraid that poor emaciated puffer is on it's last fin. My guess is long term IP infestation.

what did the owner say about that? and what type of puffeR?

4" fahaka, living in a 20g tank. He's had it for 3 years, been feeding frozen bloodworms. I'm hoping he comes on here for more advice.

He also had a nice-looking irrubesco in another tank.

damn that poor thing isnt going to live long

Skinniest puffer I've ever seen. Very weak, too.

I can only imagine what damage has been done on the inside

Was the body lumpy? It could be somatic nematodes as well - those are untreatable.

But if the diet is that bad (and possibly the water as well) it may be just malnutrition and poor conditions with effectively no room to swim. Sadly, that all is not easy to handle after all this time.
