Suspect indigestion problem as stomach looks bloated and pointy at the rear. Faster change water and tried to reduce stress hoping it will be fine today, but came home from work and it passed. Just ordered a brand new 422 and brand new equipments for it... god must be playing a joke on me.

Puffers are very prone to indigestion therefore you do not feed them too much. Once a day is enough, and once the belly is full dont feed anymore liao..If you suspect any indigestion, adminster epsom salt immediately. I think that was how my congo puffer passed away that time...

C328 still got fahaka bro and stilll rather healthy..can give it another try....

2 Fahakas (2inches) - 16 dollars each
8 Palembangs, nt sure how much

Tons of dwarf puffers

IT IS MY...i going to get it in the morning tomorrow

After reading on the Pufferforum, i think i still will be going for fahaka. can tell me the puffer can stay in 3ft till what size? i dont want it to stun. Cause i need some time to clear away all the discus and order the new tank for it(i think i can come out with the money from my pay..hehehe), is a 4x2x2 good? need sump or OHF better?

I think when the fahaka adult is almost the same like my discus, still and not moving and i can take it.

Can stay in 3ft until you got enough money for a 422 lol for the fahaka to hide, it doesnt like to be exposed or at least some rocks n definitely sand. Provide aeration and adequte filtration. I prefer using external canisters but of course its more ex than sump n OHF lol do take note of the puffers diet too..n standby epsom salt for any emergencies

My fahakas have arleady began burrowing in the sand. My 2 fahakas are currently together in a 3ft tank with a divider n im running both a fluval 405 & ehiem 2028 concurrently. The Ich is still rather persistent, need to raise up the heat a little zzz

hahahaha.very cute

Epsom salt is a kind of laxative for fishes lol you can buy it from Guardian pharmacy. Its not expensive ba..how fast you use it depends on the size of your tank lol

Its in a dark blue box
