Hi all! So I actually just got my first GSP today. I purchased everything for his tank two days ago and set it all up before letting it cycle from Monday to today. The salinity is 1.007 and the temp is about 79 degrees. I acclimated my puffer very slowly throughout the day today and eventually he was introduced. Everything seemed to be going great!
Now the problems start, the water has become very cloudy since introducing him to the tank and I don’t know why. Since he’s been introduced (since about 5pm today) I’ve only fed him one freeze dried shrimp, and he ate well, he explored the tank all day and I was super stoked that he looked great. However, now he is just floating at the top, letting the current push him around and hardly showing any signs of health. His stomach is white as snow so I don’t know what the problem is. His tank is cloudy and he’s hardly moving!
What do I do????

To start i would recommend looking up the nitrogen cycle to avoid further problems with your tanks parameters... coz with an un-cycled tank and sensitive fish you are asking for bigger problems down the line...

So really my best advise for right now would be to:

1) return the fish to the store
2) get your tank cycled using the fishless tank cycle method and then finally
3) proceed to by a fish for your tank...
