So I have 4 puffer fish. They are in a 35 gallon tank ( theyre pretty small, but going to move them to bigger tank once i have enough money for it ) the ammonia levels are fine, nitrates are a tiny bit high but not much, ph is fine, salinity is fine. one of my puffer fish ( Banana ) is always brown, sits on the bottom of the tank, is always breathing heavy, seems to have trouble swimming, sunken in stomach, but she still eats normal. This has been going on for a while. Shes been kind of brown since the first day i got her and is slowly getting worse. Ive treated her for parasites and and worms and basically everything i could think of! shes still not better! Im always having to hand feed her and make sure she gets lots of food because the next day shes all skinny and it looks like she never ate! I was thinking maybe she had a tape worm? but i treated her for that and she still isnt better. PLEASE HELP ME! I DONT WANNA LOSE MY BANANA):
