... And when did you get it.

Fahaka puffer,
No test kits
its a 350g system composed of 2 tanks and 1 filter sump
1. Main tank is 250g houses a 13 inch dovii and 2 large bala sharks, those fish has been there for 2 years

2. 100g tank below. houses the 2 day old Fahaka Puffer

 

[Fat Homer]

do you have any decor, and what decor have you got if any???

Also really would advise getting a API master liquid test kit, since puffers being scaleless fish are a lot more sensitive to water quality..,

It's only 2 days. However it needs decor it can hide and feel safe in. Water parameters I assume are good. I say give it time and add decor for it to hide in if you don't already

Add some tyoe of cave to make them feel more secure...

Some driftwood and plants such as anubias might help too
