Hi,

One of my GSP's has a blackish ring around it's mouth and wont eat...it's almost like it cant move it's mouth...like it is frozen.

My water parameters are all very good (I know you are going to ask me for the numbers, but every time I print them everyone agrees the numbers are great)...My other puffer is fine, but this one has always been small with a clamped tail fin since I got her (sex? I just call this one a her because she is so small).

I probably will lose her, but I was just wondering.

Thanks.

Is this the same one hanging out at the top of the 10g tank?

Yep...

She used to hide alot and she was the one that was really light alot of the time, but she ate...now she is not eating. I was also treating her for internal parasites...but it is pointless now as she wont eat.
