Good luck and please keep us updated! - Stacy p.s. They prefer live feeder shrimp and worms, but I gave them a cricket and they went crazy! I'm not sure if that was good for them, but my guy said it was fine once and a while. Sometimes, they wouldn't eat, so I had to get creative with their meals. Keep quiet until they get over the shock of a new home. Over filter them at first until you see first hand the registration they leave behind from eating. The LED's I bought for them, specifically designed for the happiness of Puffers made them lose all color until I turned them down! I spend a lot of time with these guys because they love to create some kind of drama. Don't freak out Puffers will change colors sometimes just to watch you freak. means just in case) No worms, thank gosh, and then a few weeks later they were on the mend. A lot of people just go ahead and treat them profileacticaly. I watched their stools, but I treated them with internal worms as it doesn't bother them. They freak out easily enough without the stress they had gone through. I also still kept them in the quiet room. Made sure all the water perimeters were dead on and didn't vary. It was about the time I saw the discoloration much like you described. At this point, they were starving except for a little brine shrimp I have them to start them off without eating themselves to death. I put them in a very quiet room, and started to try and feed them. They went through a stressful journey that made them arrive three days late(!) and I didn't think they would survive. I had them in a 15 gallon, now a quarantine tank as that was the only size I had on hand - as I had primed it and cycled it for about four weeks for the Pea puffers, the water had no salt in it. My GSP's (I had ordered Pea puffers but, oh well - change of everything). But thank you all so very much for your time and your helpful information ! I was worried it might be fungal, bacteria, or a parasite. The one I got was the best looking one and the smallest. All their fins were half got, one was so thin he looked like a box. There were 4 dead eaten on dead puffers, 4-6 that were laying on the bottom flaping their fins, and about 4 that were actually swimming around. When I went to Wal-Mart today I was shocked at the tank this guy came out of. I have done a LOT of research on these guys as far as natural habitat and captive habitat and how to care for them.

My tank is 30 gl, 1.008 salinity level with instant ocean salt, brackish established, cycled, constant temp between 76-82 F with sand substrate, a bubbler, adjustable flow power filter with 3 green spotted dwarf puffer fish (the other 2 I've had for 3 months the other I bought today at about 4pm) and a black tip shark catfish.
