They seem to be swimming alot more freely now, but for some reason they wont go above like 1/3 of the tank, they usually are always at the top thats why its so weird.. hmm.
do you not have any test kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate?
or are you doing the tests now as this is very important
 
if its not reading the tempurature it means the temp has fallen below the lowest temp it can show. check your heaters
 
None at all, and they have been in that tank for almost a month, idk why this would happen now... but the fish are starting to go out alittle now i guess it's fixing itself, thanks anyways though guys!

It's prob your figure8 puffers cant live with freshwater fish. figure8 puffers are brackish water's when young, then need to be in saltwater when adults. but do you add any salt in your aquarium at all??
while they need to be adapted slowly to fresh from brackish they can definitely live in fresh. one of the few puffers that do well in fresh. there actually found if many freshwater naturally

Your puffer might have picked the territory above the tank. He prob chased all the fish constantly to the bottom of the tank??

Lmao, doubt it, the other fish are catfish, two baby cichlids, a 4inch bloodjewel, and a 3inch parrot, they wouldn't be able to bother those guys!

well i would still get a ammonia,nitrite,nitrate test kit future is its pretty vital we know these in the tank. as elevated levels probably cause 99.9% of fish deaths
