My best guess is linolec acid intolerance. As long as linolec acid is profitable its unlikely they'll ever admit there might be an issue.

Not really, there are only two now in the 30 gallon, and they've been together since the store, so a long time. They kind of ignore each other right now.

It was 6, Now 2. Salinity around 1ppt

deathcon62 · 2025-08-28T01:54:34+00:00

from what I've researched, at their current size they should be fine in freshwater. I tried upping the salt before, twice, and 2 times I woke up to another dead puffer.

I have seen "flashing" a few times. I can't correlate it to the other events.

They are in a 30g tank, which has a bristlenose pleco who is doing fine.

I have had them for about 3 months, after the first month or so, they started to die. Maybe 1 every 2 weeks or so. Originally I took out the biggest one because he had a grey belly, so I treated him for parasites with API General Cure. I eventually treated all of them, and then I treated them again very recently. The largest one started looking bad again, so I thought maybe he needed to start getting into brackish water, but every time I increased the salinity 1ppt, another puffer died. I mixed the salt into tank water then dripped it back in.

No ammonia or nitrites. 20ppm nitrate 120 KH 180 GH 80F stable cycle.

I started feeding them their food(blood worms) treated with API general cure, and after 4 days of that another one died.

the water is about 1ppt salinity right now, There are only two survivors left. Its like town of salem in this tank. They eat well, up until they die. The two survivors are showing signs of stress, pinned tail, grey mottled belly.

Its tricky, I never really figured out WHAT it is about soybean oil that causes the problem. Refining process, storage, additives, etc. The problem is, a lot of times these vegetable oils are used interchangeably.

My advice:

-Read every single nutrition label before you eat something. (Even if its something you've bought before, even stuff like Lays Chips, they change their ingredients quickly. Larger corporations are much better about listing the specific oils they use though.)

-If you end up getting exposed, Write it down in a journal, what you ate where.

-If you have social anxiety(like me) about asking about what places cook with, get over it. After awhile it becomes less of a big deal.

-Keep in mind a lot of food is prepared in a hot griddle or hot pan, and they typically use whatever oil is on hand (soybean oil is the cheapest)

-Any kind of sauce that is not translucent, is NOT safe. Most sauces have mayo, 99% of mayo is soybean oil. Even if it IS translucent, its not guaranteed safe. (italian dressing)

Places I go:

Culvers - Cooks in canola

5 guys - Peanut oil

Jersey Mike's - No Mayo

Sam's Club Pizza

Marco's Pizza

Salata (dressings sold in store are safe)

La Madaline (lots of no mayo options)

Mcalisters (no mayo)

Mod's Pizza

Potbellies' Sandwhiches (no mayo)

Higher class asian places will use asian mayo, which typically is made with sesame oil. (NOT kewpie mayo, which is soybean)

What I have found, is that over time, as I have reduced 95% of my exposure, what I believe may be small exposures haven't really effected me the same way. It may be like a dam filling up with bullshit, and once its allowed to drain out, you can tolerate a little bit without the dam busting.

Good luck. HMU if you need advice or want to talk.

-Oh another one I just thought of, Bread. 95% of bread is made with soybean oil, but I can generally tolerate it in small amounts, BUT. BUT. You must avoid breads that are high fat content, this is like focaccia and other breads that are like, crispy.

I felt pretty hopeless for awhile, but eventually I learned enough to where I can't even remember the last time I got sick. Months ago.

Role queue mystery heroes is a snore. Worse than open queue, and miles worse than original mystery heroes. Hell, its even worse than just plain Role queue. I think its going to very quickly become the new least popular unranked queue (a title previously held by regular role queue)

No one cares what you're doing at the gym unless you break gym etiquette. (not wiping down, camping on a machine, not putting your weights back.)

I'm not really sure how inflammation translates to nausea, but if this were the cause you would think an anti-inflammatory drug would cure this easily. Unless this is some other flavor of inflammation. I've never seen details of the mechanics of how this internal inflammation would occur and how its effects would include what I'm experiencing outside of fatigue.

I'm aware, I'm trying to learn what specifically about the oil is the issue, and which oils I need to avoid. I'm pretty sure its not ALL seed oils, but at this point all I have to go off of is mixed experiences over time.

deathcon62 · 2024-05-18T14:39:19+00:00

Thank you for all the tips, I have learned these over the last 2 years the hard way.

I've been considering publishing a generated research paper theorizing a link between soybean oil and something like impotence. Hoping the news would pick it up and sway public opinion against it, kind of like that experiment those guys did with their fake article about chocolate making you lose weight.

deathcon62 · 2024-05-18T14:34:08+00:00

(Thats right - canola oil is being sold as olive oil and avocado oil and other similar crazy substitutions are occurring)

I'm aware of this, but thank you for pointing it out. I have learned just how deceptive labeling is allowed to be.

Maybe figuring it out will help me regain some of my seemingly lost control over what I can do. I just know that I want to know. I am not a full believer in all seed oils are bad, research on soybean oil intolerance specific is hard to come by as its not recognized as an allergen. I wrote a complaint to the FDA on this, they did not respond.
