Dog face puff puff

[wayner]

Hey guys just got a dog face puffer but hes not acting right. How long does it take them to come to life and start acting normal? Hes been in the corner like this for couple hours now.

The puffer died, the goby is the only survivor of the tank.....it is now in a QT and I am goin g to have to do hyposalinity on it to make sure the parasite is dead.....I also have to leave my 54G tank empty now for 6-8 weeks to make sure the ich dies off in there too

Has it eaten? Puffers are supposed to be real pigs
