Hi
I recently got 3 fish mail order which i put in a cycled 55ga tank.
A small dogface puffer, a small volitan lionfish and a small medium Picasso trigger.
The picasso is doing fantastic, extremely active and eats everything.The lionfish hasn't been eating and i knew it would be a battle to get this guy to eat so i am not surprised yet.The lionfish even without eating still acts normally at this time.
The big disappointment comes from the Dogface puffer, it seems he is wasting away.He doesn't move around a lot and hides.Today he stays on the top stuck on the overflow slighly letting the current suck him in, then he back down a little and back on the overflow.
He wasn't really been eating but still i saw him catch some frozen brine shrimps and lancefish on the bottom during that first week.
I have been suspecting him to be bullied by the very dominant trigger but i haven't witnessed a single agression.The trigger sometimes approches the puffer and stare at him then goes away.
Shall i get some ghost shrimps and a divider to try to save my puffer or move it in another tank?
Please help
Thanks
Patrick
