Anttwon Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Looking for ideas about what is going on with my figure 8 puffer. Regular diet of ramshorns, frozen bloodworms, frozen krill, and shrimp. When I noticed his stomach not flattening out as usual after his daily feeding, I did not feed him for 2 days and still looks larger than after he eats. No meds have been used. Water Parameters (use co-op strips): Water Temp: 78F pH: 7.2 Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrates: 5-10 ppm Hardness: Between 150-300 Salinity: 1.008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anttwon Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 No rapid breathing. It is hard for me to actually see him poop with my work schedule, unless it is the weekend, which I planned to watch real hard this weekend. But the poop I have been seeing when I get home hasn't looked stringy, looks like his normal poops. I have noticed a bit less of it though.
