The Puffer Forum

My first attempt to keep GSP in a FOWLR.

I got those 2 little guys a couple days ago and not sure if they have an issue on their skin or not?
They are in a Marine environment, they are very active, eat well and no real signs of a disease.
However I noticed some white spots on their skin. I am kinda familiar with Ich on Tangs but it doesn't look the same. Those are just spots and not white dots.

I took a quick video to illustrate better what I am trying to explain. Just click on the image to watch the video

Thanks for any input

Those looked like typical bite marks.. nothing to worry about. But, your mussel looks.. cooked?

Thanks for your quick reply.
Feel better now...
At the LFS there were quite a few in their display and probably the reason for those bite marks.

Got those mussels from the Asian store...New Zealand green mussels and heat shocked.
They looked pretty raw before I added them to the tank but changed to the color you saw after a while. I soak them also in enriched vitamin water before feeding.
Is that ok?

I feed my puffer those same mussels. They love em. As long as its raw it should be okay.

Add SW Melafix to help heal their skin.
