The Puffer Forum

so my 1.5 year old figure 8 just decided to stop eating, ive tried all his favorite foods, even tried garlic extracts, he just doesnt seam to care, or notice theres food there, any advice?

Moved to Hospital, so you can answer ALL the Qs above, in red.

Tank size, water parameters, usual foods?

tank is a 20 L, ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates are less than 10, ph is 7.8, salinity is 1.008, temp is 80 and he used to eat freeze dried krill, ghost shrimp, and home bred snails weekly

why wont my posts show up?

never mind i got him eating

You are a new poster here. Your 1st few posts have to be approved, so we don't let spammers in. My guess is the move caused your puffer not to eat. My fakaka went on a 2-week hunger strike, after moving from a 55g to a 125g.

Krill seems to be an iffy food. It likely should be minimized.

he wasnt eating for a week before the move, i did have a heater malfunction so it might have been the rapid swing in temp and the move, though he still glass dances, even in the 20 long, ive been looking for more plants like java fern to put in, to create a more complex tank
