The Puffer Forum

Hi everyone I'm kinda new to this site and new to keeping puffers for that matter. I have a very small Narrow lined puffer about 1 1/2'' I got him about 4 days ago from my LFS. He is eating fine and his behavior seems to be normal. He is very curious of his surroundings and loves to eat. I feed him a mixture of krill,clams and sea weed for a treat. Just this morning I woke up and he had small white spots all over his fins and skin. I looked at a picture on-line to compare spots and they were identical to ick. so that being said I really hate seeing this little guy like that. If anyone could I just need someone to walk me through the process of getting him better cause he's got alot of things to do.

There's a sticky in this forum on treating saltwater ich.

Did you quarantine this new puffer?

Any other fish in this tank with the puffer?

Well no I did not quarantine my new puff. In the tank I have a very small baby Huma trigger and a yellow tail damsel along with my Narrow Lined puffer. The tank has had Ick before but I went fallow for 9 weeks to kill off the Ick,I guess not all of it died. And yes I have learned my lesson about putting my fish in quarantine before introduction to my main tank
