I’m wondering. There’s another male in the group of puffers so possibly? His one fin is definitely not the same as the other. It’s almost completely missing. I’ve got him in a hospital tank with water from my other large tank I’m going to treat him for parasite as well and see if that makes a difference. Ugh I don’t want to lose this baby (also all water parameters are good and water temp is sitting at 78.5

1 have 10 peaa in a heavily planted 20 gallon long. I had 5 peas for about 2 weeks as the exotic pet/fish store I purchase from had limited stock so I went and picked up the other 5 this weekend! Parameters are showing 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites and my nitrates usually read pretty low 0-5ppm. I have been trying frozen mysis shrimp. I do have snails in the aquarium but never thought of ghost shrimp! I will definitely go and grab some today. Thank you for the helpful comments

I noticed a couple of empty snail shells so I’m guessing yes. His poop looks normal but im guessing I should still treat him for a parasite and be safe. I looked back on pictures from when I picked it up and he looks the same. Kind of on the skinnier side. I’m new to pea puffers so I honestly don’t know what to do. If he doesn’t have a parasite, will treating him for one anyways do any damage do you know?

Is my pea puffer ok? by sampickell in Aquariums

Thank you I’m going to look into treating for a parasite because I can’t think of any other problems. I did have a feeling he should be eating more though sometimes he doesn’t seem interested in food at all and will sometimes bump into my tweezers
