Hi all
I just noticed that one of my 3 dwarf puffers is acting strangly. He wont come to the front of the tank for bloodworms. He just sits on sand substrate and hides a little under plants. I've had them for a little over two weeks now.
when I moved the plants away and nudged him a little he phreeked and swam in loops kinda upside down..
He's laying on the bottom now and is righted. He's swimming a little, but didnt eat. the other pufers are fine and very active.
I raised the temp a little and put some salt in there(just under a tablespoon for the 5 gal tank).
Help! what do I do for him??
The details:
5 gal tank
temp now 81
ph 7.1
GH 110
KH 60
nitrate < 20
nitrite 0
