I took pitty on this poor little puffer and LFS gave him to me for free. other then is one missing eye he seemed healthy. but now he wont eat. he picks at the brine and spits it out. he is starting to get skinny now. any suggestions??

I'd say get him out of the tank and put him in quarantine, til he gets better or dies. From what i hear, puffers are toxic and if he dies while you are not there, he can kill off the rest of the tank. Other than that, the best you can do is monitor him and hopes he gets better.

Have You Tried Feeding Him Ocean Nutrition Clam Chunks? Soak It In Vitamins First While It Thaws. You Could Try Mysis Shrimp Also But Ive Had Better Luck With The More Meatier Foods.
