Does anyone have info about this subject? The more i read i wonder if this is the reason my fahaks isnt eating!

I doubt if she's constipated, I'm sure she just needs to get comfortable in the new home. I hardend her water with a mix of Epsom salt and marine salt when I had her and raised her KH with baking soda. I posted the link in a previous thread. If she's not eating, she's not going to be defecating, it's pretty much a 1-1 ratio with fahakas.
 
My puffer defecates around 24 hours after eating based on casual observation. You can use salt as a laxitive if you are worried. Healthy pooping = Healthy fish.
 
How's the puffer now?
 
I'd post in the Hospital Forum at my site.
