New n' needin Advice (Fig 8 Puff)

Praridglady · 05-07-2001, 06:25 PM

Howdy all, brand new here. 1st post.. so bear with me. I have a fig 8 in a pretty darned near solid salt tank, he is about 1.5" (pretty close to max) I have no idea how old he is. I have had him along with his 3 (smaller - 1") buddies for about 6wks now. I have noticed that the Big guy is getting moldy looking. Not fuzz, but discoloration. He is NOT pinched, and eating like the round little bugger he is. His behaviour does not seem to be off either. Just the color. (Charcoalish.. No pattern) I was looking at him after he ate to make sure I was good and paranoid before I posted, and his belly is lopsided, where his buddies seem smooth and even.. ??? Any help is appreciated!!! (So sorry so long... : )

Thanks in advance!

Hi Praridglady, welcome to Reefland! [img]/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]

I see that you now have this post in the Saltwater (Fish-Only) Aquariums forum: http://www.reefland.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001172.html

That's the best place for it as puffers are not usually kept in Reef tanks. Hopefully one of our members who has experience with puffers will help you.

I'll leave this link in this forum for a while to give you some extra exposure.
