The Puffer Forum

I had an ich outbreak before and these whitish, spots on my baby porcupines fins do not look like ich 'salt' spots. They are more spread out. On all of her fins.

Got my puffer a week ago, she eats fine, was hiding today a lot. In my tank I have a foxface.
Checked the water parameters and everything was perfect..all O, ph 8.2, temp etc.

What should I do with her?
I dont have a QT yet because my tank did have ich...and dont have any good cycled, new water.

Ok, maybe it IS ich! AHHHH...I am freaking out here. I found a photo online and my babies fins DO look like the photo..lots of white spots all over. Website said that porc. had ich.

If it is ich..should I remove my puffer and other fish and put them in another tank and treat them?

I am using nosickfish.com ich meds and soaking food in garlic as of now.

anyone help me please?
thanks!

I have no experience with SW, but theres a sticky on treating SW ich in the hospital forum. Maybe check that out. There was also a thread about another member treating his SW puffer for ich, i'll try to find it.
