| Leopard Pufferfish |
 |
Hi, these are Darwin and Lamarck, the two
Leopard Green Spotted Pufferfish we rescued
from Petco yesterday. I knew nothing about
the pufferfish before I saw them languishing
in Petco's fish dept., went home and did some
research, and decided to go back and try to
rehabilitate them at home. We have 3 other
fishtanks, and this (10 gallon) was already
empty of fish, and ready for new inhabitants.
If anyone has any advice on treating ich in
this type of puffer, I would appreciate it.
The two of them, Darwin and Lamarck, (heh
heh) are in a small tank for now, and I have
raised the temp to 83 degrees, and am
treating them with Maricide (for ich) and
Melafix (to help with fin regrowth - they
were either nipped at or injured while in the
overcrowded tank at the store). They were
kept in freshwater previously, so I have only
added 1 tbsp. of freshwater aquarium salt per
5 gallons, for treatment.
They are very frisky and interested in us. I
really hope they both survive the ich and fin
loss, since we're already becoming attached
to them!
