The Puffer Forum

Hi all. I am new to the forum and am in need of advice. I have a porcupine that is about 2 years old. He is in a 150 gallon tank with an Auriga Butterfly, Paddle fin Wrasse, Volition Lion, Picasso Trigger, and an Ocellaris. He always eats voraciously a diet of mostly krill with a little squid. Well, yesterday, he started to go for a piece of krill and couldn't get it. It was like he tried to open his mouth and just couldn't get it open enough to take it in. I have been doing some searching and figure that it is lockjaw. My question is, how do I treat it? Nobody seems to have a definitive instruction. I want to help the little guy, he is quite a character and would definitely be missed. Thanks in advance,
Steve

iodine added to the water as a supplement. use normal dosing and if you have inverts do double the normal dose. keep feeding as normal you should be just fine.
