My brand new pea puffer that is usually nearly impossible to find in my 90g (I've been calling him Waldo) is currently laying on the bottom against the glass breathing heavily. I think the issue may not enough snails in there. So this is an SOS. Can someone please donate even 5-10 soft shelled snails asap?

Honestly at this point, I'd even take a few live blood worms even though just touching them can kill me. (Severe allergy)

Nevermind. Theres no way hes going to make it. I found two tiny snails and put them and him in a cup and he seems too far gone to care they are there.


Can someone delete this thread?

I had similar experiences with my pea puffers. They were ok for a while, then what I'm assuming were internal parasites took over.
Even with treatment (PraziPro and metronidazole) they didn't make it.

Perhaps if I could have gotten some Levamisole they would have had a chance, but you can't get that locally.

Basically once they stop eating, there's only one outcome.
