Usually when a fish gets swim bladder disease, it doesn't ever get better. So it's likely that the puffer is starting to perk up after a stressful few days, or perhaps the fish company put some sort of sedative in the bag to keep the puffer from becoming injured, and it's starting to wake up.Update he’s starting to swim normal for a little then went back to being upside down I put him in this box with holes so the flow doesn’t blow him seems to be working
Your welcome, it seems like you're already doing a good job keeping the fish upright and moving. Definitely keep an eye on that potential ich, though. When coupled with the stress of overnight shipping, that disease can do some nasty things to a fish.He does seem to have ich on somw
Of his fins but I doubt that’s the reason he can’t swim right i have had a narrow line puffer with iCh that passed away but never seen them float upside down and not be able to swim right he does a couple crazy flips then goes back to floating . I thought it was a air bubble so I burped him and a air bubble did come out but it seems it didn’t help
Him. I don’t know I’ll just give it a day and get Back to you with a update thanks for the quick response shark bait 19
As @Sharkbait19 said, Coppersafe works well on puffers and boxfish, Cupramine may cause issues. You could also consider hyposalinity. The trouble with copper isn't really sensitive fish, but rather, mixing incompatible chemicals or missing the proper dosage. I also see a LOT of people decide to add copper really slowly, or in lower doses - then the fish dies and they blame the copper, when actually, the problem was the disease wasn't being controlled.Can I use copper on him seachem cuparmine
Okay is the 4 oz bottle enough I have a 13.5 qt tank I have a 75 he’s going in that I have a one lion fish InNot on a puffer, copper is dangerous to scaleless fish. I believe copporsafe works though. @Jay Hemdal
