I see there’s white spots on a couple of the Amazon puffers not all of them. I looked up ich I’m not sure if it looks like it but I don’t think so. Anyone know what is it
 
Might be puffer bites.

Would be good to treat with prazipro in the event of flukes though.

Ok thanks. I have 5 amazons and 7 pea puffers in there only 2 of them have these so maybe it is bites. I’ll look into the protocol of prazi pro and give it a shot. Thank you for the help greatly appreciated

I suggest observing the aquarium for a few minutes because if it's bites you'll have to remove the Pea Puffer's.

Dwarfs are much meaner than amazons (even my Amazon would get into scrapes, thought the bites looked different - might have been the loaches), so they may need to be separated.
