New Puffer

[rjmang]

I received my first internet fish order on Thursday. The puffer was the most active out of all the fish the first day, but on Friday and Saturday he stayed on the bottom of the tank and is not moving (he is breathing). Everyone else is eating and appears happy. Stress or death????

My puffer was very inactive for about a week......would not eat flake food at all. He stayed on the bottomof the tank, acting like he was dead, but his eyes would follow me. He started eating like a pig yesterday....finally! Feeding him frozen meaty foods....Don't give up.....he may be shy!
