So about four months ago I was at Wal-Mart and I saw this pathetic looking tank of GSP's. I had a 30 gallon well cycled tank with no one in it. I had transfered its inhabitants to a larger tank. I felt bad for the the little guys they had nearly no fins left cause they were bitting each other. So I brought home the healthiest looking one in the tank. I adjusted the salinity and added stress coat to the water. The next day I stocked the tank with pest snails and duck weed and a little moneywart. He has been doing fine but this last week he stopped eating well. I'm scared I am going to find him belly up one day. I wave fresh shrimp in front of him and he acts like he can't even see it. If he does go after it he spits allot of it out. I have never had a puffer before so I know the beak can be an issue but how do I tell if its the problem? I can see him kinda trying to chew and he deffinatley looks like he has more of a beak than he use to. I'm worried about a parisite or something. He has a sunken in tummy and his skin is looking kinda pruny. Iam in the US so I'm not sure what is available. Any advise is welcome I really want my little guy to make it!
