the-obstacle Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 he'll be sweet. Just might take an hour or 2 to get his breath back. I wouldn't worry about quarantining him unless he's physically injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 He not really quarantined. Hes in a smaller tank inside his tank. He is in the tank alone anyway. hes on his back still breathing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 &c:ry Im a bit sad now. My puffer has just pasted away. Looked to be some sort of fungus on his fins. They were white at the ends and sort of fluffy/like a cotton ball. Any ideas on this? &c:ry That seems to be the killer of all 3 puffers i've owned. Thats the end of puffer keeping for me.
