Seems like it was a bacteria after all. Which one they couldn't tell, they said, without a culture. They said, "This rapidly spreading bacterial infection is hard to treat. I have had one success using nitrofurazone baths with enrofloxacin injections when I first noted a spot the size of a...

I haven't seen him puff up in months. He would from time to time just puff up to stretch or for the heck of it, it seemed. Nothing would bug him or startle him. And he's been in the tank for a while and there's no problems between the him and the other fish.

The puffer passed away last night. I'm still not sure what happened, the other fish still look fine. I'm going to keep an eye on them for the next few days but I'm thinking this was a physical thing and possibly not a parasite or disease.

It is a 120 gallon tank, connected to a 30 gallon tank, with a 30-40 gallon sump. I figured 15 gallon was less than 10%. Before getting the puffer I read that they were notorious over eaters and they could get sick from that. Does anyone know what it looks like when they get sick that way? I...

The discolor has gotten bigger, it's now connected, I've just placed him in a QT that I started to setup last night.

I did a water change on Sunday and on Tuesday, about 15 gallons both times. I wasn't sure what was affecting the puffer and I couldn't find anything online that matched up so I went with the hypo and stresscoat.

I see no Ich, just the 2 big discolored spots. Unless that is Ich? I'm used to seeing white spots with Ich, I see no white spots. The puffer was acting normal up until today. Now it seems to have lost his appetite, and every once in a while it spazzes a bit. Looks like he's trying to shake...

I have the cheap plastic, and a refractometer, the refractometer is showing 24% and 1.019. The Puffer is in the main tank, the other fish are showing no signs of stress, discoloration, or loss of appetite. The puffer ate yesterday, is not eating today (I normally do not feed it every day)...

The puffer just started getting these circles a couple days ago. I'm going through hyposalinity now, and stresscoat, but so far the circles are just getting bigger and bigger. Attached are pictures taken today, when yesterday the circles were slightly bigger then a quarter. Does anyone have...
