Help DogFace Puffer

[stevelocs]

I have had a dogface puffer for about six months and for the last two days he has just been sleeping. I haven't seen him eat. Is this normal for dogface puffers? What should I do?

Welcome to the boards!! What do you mean that he has been sleeping? Is he moving at all? What are your readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph, sg, and temp? Has anything changed in the tank recently? Have you added anything?

My levels look good! I gave him a fresh water dip last night and today he looks a lot better. He has yet to eat, its been three days......?? I think Im going to try some live ghost shrimp and feeder fish.

I just added a chiller to the tank. The temp. was 80.1 , but now Im at 77.
