Ok I posted last week that I thought one of the puffers had an injured gill. Now I'm wondering if it's gill flukes. He keeps his fin flat against his side sometimes. I noticed him flash against a plant once. Gill looks bigger and redder than the other. I don't see anything sticking out of it. What do you guys think? :/ oh and sometimes he does this thing that looks like he is trying to regurgitate his food or something. Thanks for any help

Hello, so I am quoting this from another thread that I found on this site. viewtopic.php?t=28864&p=312062
Since it is an external parasite treat the tank with Jungle fizzy tabs, and if that doesn't kill it off raising the salinity of the tank into higher brackish water 1.006-1.007 for a short term ( maybe 3-4 days) may help kill it off someone else may have better insight on this one.

Here is a link to amazon where you can find the Jungle fizzy tabs Fungus Clear
