Our dwarf puffer started acting weird today( will attach pictures) I need help! It’s belly is big and white and shiny.

1. Ph is at 7.1 nitrate and ammonia at 0
2. 10 gallon aquaponics tank with two dwarfs
3. They get a mix of brine shrimp and blood worms daily and one live shrimp every two weeks(it takes them forever to eat it). Water changes at 50% every week and a half (they get grumpy if water is changed too much) stress coat with each change
4. We added some new plants two weeks or so ago
5. They’re been in a new tank for about three weeks and have been fine until now. We let it filter for two weeks and all levels were consistent before we pu them in.

tank is not cycled @ your ammonia & nitrate levels.
what is your nitrite level?
are you using a liquid test kit or test strips?
