K9COP79 Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Hi I have owned a salt water puffer fish for 6 years now and have never had any problems with him but in the past 2 days he has decided to start eating the sand in his tank.Just wondering if anyone had any ideas why he would start doing this?

K9COP79 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 His teeth are all good, has plenty of stuff to chew to keep them down. He is eating the sand has a huge belly full then poos it back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
