Hi all, newbe here
Some good friends told me about this web site and thought maybe you can help
I have a big dog face puffer ,he's about 12 inches longm he's a light brown / beige color with white spots the size of a dime
He was tank raised and I have only had him for five months, he likes to be hand feed and would only eat freeze dried krill, I recently about two months ago got him to start eating the frozen krill, still give him some freeze dried once in a while but mostly frozen now
Recently on monday I noticed he was not eaten like his normal self, in fact he would take the food chew it and spit it out, he did that with all his krill ,He normally eats 10 in the morning and 10 and night
Then come tuesday he did the same thing ,come wednesday he would not eat at all, not frozen or freze dried, he comes over to my hand like normal, takes a look or sniff on the krill and turns away, has not eaten now for four days
Also he has not let out any waste for this week ,I know this becasue when he goes its like a horse went, Ihave to cleanthe tank everyday, this wek I have not cleaned the tank at all
I have him in the tank with a tusk-flag angel-majestic angel-powder brown tang, keep in mind he is the big boy in the tank, all the other fish are no bigger then 3 inches maybe 4 at the most
he was in the tank by him self until about two months ago when I added the othr fish, I added all at the same time
Also keep in mind this fish loves attention, when you come over to the tank he comes right to you waging his tail ,when I got him the guy at the store advised me he was tank raised by a person who had to give him p as he got to large for the tank
This fish loves to eat his first meal at 7 am sharp and boy if your running late he lets you know by splashing and making all sorts of noise to get your attention
Also recently I just noticed something and I don't know if this makes a difference ,his white spots that where the size of a dime or now small white lines, in fact they look like sprinkles on an ice cream cone
What could be wrong with him??
