Hey all, a few months back I got an asillus puffer....so far things have been great with him except he has always been a picky eater. About the only thing I can get him to eat is bloodworms.
I came home from work today and didn't notice him buzzing about as usual...then I saw him laying on his side, eyes open at the bottom of the tank.....I thought he was dead for sure.....when I got my net and started to bring him out of the tank he started moving around a little bit! I thought I was seeing things so I let him out of the net, but he just floated back down to the bottom, lifeless.....I again netted him up and he again started moving....he is swimming a bit, but not much at all...maybe for a second or two, and then rests. I left him in the net, in the tank, and put some bloodworms in there with him thinking maybe he would eat, but he doesn't.
Please help, I dont want my little guy to die, but I dont want him to suffer either....is there anyway I can save him, or should I put him out of his misery?
