Please help figure 8 seems 'head heavy'

[mummy5]

We have a figure 8 puffer ph/nitrates all fine! Temp is perfect, but he seemed really sad and now he's "dead" he's head Seems to heavy for his body and it's almost like he has no strength!

do you have him in brackish water?

 

[mummy5]

Yes and all levels are fine tanks been up and running 18 weeks.

when in doubt, do a water change i guess. maybe about 50% water change.

I moved it into a different tank in case it was some illness and it seemed to be getting better! I followed a fish vets advise and gave it a pea Incase it was swim bladder problems but it was uninterested in any food and this morning it was dead! He was very skinny but bloated where it's neck would be I guess. So I'm sure it was swim bladder disease and I tried to treat it too late ?

Thanks anyway
