just some more questions to try and help...
I have had 3 die.. Nitrates = 25-35 Nitrite = 0 ammonia = 0
125 gallon.
What am I doing wrong? Tank has been set up for 6 months.. the other inhabitants are fine and not picking on them.

he IS new, nitrite 0 nitrate 30 ammonia 0
He is in the display tank, my qt is currently occupied for fish for another tank that are currently sick. This has happened before.
He is eating feeder fish. (thats how I start my puffers/lions eating)
He's eating, but has cloudy almost "cracked glass" looking eyes.
Would much like to treat him, I have formalin, is that safe to use for puffers or necessary?
