I just got a Dog face puffer a week ago. I had to keep him in the refugium of my reef tank for a week until I was sure that my predator tank was finished its cycle. I acclimated him for 2 1/2 hours before the transfer. He seemed lethargic and a little pale all week, but would eat (mysis shrimp) when fed. On Sunday I transported him to my other tank. Acclimated him for 2 hours. I was'nt aware that you could'nt take them out of the water, and used a net. for the past 3 days, he has'nt been eating and hides up by the overflow. He also has a very pail tail and nose. I got him to nibble on a peice of scallop today but that was it. His belly also looks a little bloated, and I'm wondering if he swallowed some air during the move. If so, is there anyway to help him? Also I have no rocks . Just substrate right now. Could no hiding spot make him stressed. It is a 100g, with him and a little picasso trigger that does'nt seem to bug him. They actually hang out together.
Water perameters are:
Salinity 1.022
Ph 8.2
Amm 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 10
temp 78.4
Some one please give me some advise. I dont want to lose him. He's such a cool fish.
thanks
