I just brought a puffer two days ago ( im not 100% sure what type.. all it said on the tank was 'pygmy puffer', although i thought pygmy puffer's where the really small puffers also known as dwaft puffers that don't get much bigger than 1"?) He is approx 2" long and is in a 34 Litre tank on his own. The problem is, he seems very lifeless and since i have had him, he never hardly ever moves but instead lays on the gravel at the bottom... Even when i feed him, he doesn't seem very interested, although he did eat a few bloodworm today, but apart from that, he doesn't seem to want to eat..
Im really worried that he won't last much long and he does not look good. I know you will all ask me to give you the water readings, but i ran out of 'test strips' and so i won't be able to give you the readings until tomorrow afternoon once i go to the fish shop after work (if i could get there sooner, i would)... I introduced him to the cycled tank slowly, as i do with all my fish and i added a teaspoon or so of marine salt (as told to do so by the local fish shop employee)
Without the water readings, i understand that not much can be said to help me out right now, but does anyone have any idea what might be the problem and what i could possible do?
Please help..im desperate and i don't want this little guy to die and i want to do all i can
if you click the link below, i have a picture of him, although it's abit blurry.. As you can see, he is just sat on the bottom of the tank by the filter, looking very sorry for himself does anyone know what type of puffer he is?
