The Puffer Forum

I recently added aquarium salt to my 10 gallon aquarium and now my dwarf puffer fish who was starving at his last home changed color from faded to dark. I have recently seen him eat the snails I have provided and it has been 5 days since I add the salt but now he is just chilling face down in the gravel for the whole day. Is the salt the problem? He is severely skinny but was has improved drastically since I got him and started feeding him his proper food. Please help!!!

How much salt did you add?

I used two tablespoons of aquarium salt, which is the amount that is suggested for a 10 gal. tank. 1 tablespoon for every 5 gals.
Ill get on taking my water data and answering the questions.
