So, I got my second dwarf puffer and he was all fine and dandy swimming around with my other DP until I saw that my new one looked major preggo. I thought he just ate a few too many snails. Then I was sitting on the couch and noticed something flying around in the current of my tank. To my surprise, since not even 5 minutes before everything was fine, it was my DP. I thought it was dead so I went to remove him but noticed he moved his tail and was still alive just almost immobile so I put him in a breeder box so he isn't just getting flung around. This is day 2 since it happened and he's still alive but won't swim, eat or do anything. His tail will move every now and then. I was told he won't die but it'll take quite some time to recoup since puffing puts pressure on organs and takes a lot out of them. Does anyone know from experience how long it will take, any tips to help him recoup or to get him to eat or does he need to fast until he heals? uploadfromtaptalk1399132295642.jpg
