I’ve had a baby porcupine puffer for a couple months now and he’s been very happy. But recently in the past few days I’ve noticed lots of erosion of his fins indicating some bullying by his other tank mates which i thought was strange as he’s been fine the entire time i’ve had him in my tank.
However in the last 24hrs he hasn’t eaten a single thing and is always sitting at the bottom of the tank. I don’t know how to get around this and I’m pretty worried about him at the moment. My family think it could be lockjaw but i’m not sure because we haven’t had him for very long, I’ve tried feeding some whole shell cockles but he doesn’t like them and his tank mates just tend to take it from him. Has anyone got any ideas as I really don’t want to lose him?
His tank mates are:
Powder blue tang
indo sailfin tang
2x Clownfish
green chromis
coral beauty angelfish
silverbelly wrasse
