This is my new Dwarf puffer, her name is Hampster. I bought her a few days ago from my LFS. She is in my 5gal heavily planted. I am afraid she has an internal parasite because i have read on many sites that alot of them are infested with IP's when they are in stores, but i just don't know. They say the should be plump, mine is kinda sorta plump, but the stomach is not sunken in anymore. I don't know if i should treat her for IP's anyway. should I? Anyway, i am really excited to have her, she has shuch a great personalitly, but is very shy. I will include a few links for pics, seeing as how they are to big to post. Any help would be great, i am feeding her frozen bloodworms, snails, mosquito larva, frozen brine shrimp, and chopped up earthworms, so far she only really seems interested in the snails. I am so nervous, this is a totally new experience. I really hope she does ok. As you can see in the pics she has very frayed fins, she was in pretty bad shape when i got her, but seems to be doing better ...i think Any help from people who have kept these little guys before would be great.
as promised here are the pics:
