Well, the fact that the puffer is still pretty much in FW, can be part of your problem. Please post water parameters: ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH & SG.

sad to say the puffer didn't make it i bought him some planton and that didn't work at all. after he died i raised the salt level to 1.12 i figure i will go up a little higher this weekend. i guess i am not meant to house puffers.
Once acclimated, puffers can be quite hardy. That was way too high of a salinity jump for your tank. You just killed off all the biological bacteria in there. Never raise the SG more than .002/week. You still never posted your parameters.
lol wow that was a sky rocket jump with your SG....your whole biological bacteria is all gone....now ya got to start out from scratch....you should have done whatPufferpunk said...only raising it .002/week
i have been slowly raising it up per water change every two weeks when its done. i was upset i lost the puffer i gues i am not good with puffers at all. sorry didn't reply back wife had a baby. will check the water peramiters very soon. i need to change the gravel soon its almost half way to salt water conditions.
ok the tank is finally up to par For Salt Water. has been running for a while now changed all the gravel to live sand and everything going good. Eel is eating very well looking in to seeing what i can put with a Snowflake Eel now.
