Hi all
I have finally gotten my dream fish after a 10 year wait. My Fahaka puffer Bumblebee came in very small , but she has grown to 15cm so far. She ( I think its a she) is currently residing in a 200l tank while I wait for her custom 600l tank to get built. Water paramaters are perfect 0ppm nitrate , 0ppm nitrite , 0ppm amonia.
I have also dewormed her when she was about 10cm just to make sure there were no internal parasites.
Her diet consists of gut-loaded ramhorn snails , shrimp dosed with vitamins and bloodworms , occasionally she gets clams , but she does not seem to be a fan of them.
My question to you all is regarding her mouth , I dont see her teeth and there seems to be a flesh like abscess in her mouth. This does not prevent her from eating , although she is taking way longer to eat her snails now because of this.
Has anyone seen this before , is this normal , and does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do ?
Thanks very much in advance for any help you guys provide.
