    so one of my bumble bee (pea) puffers is eating well and showing signs of a full belly until the next day...when its sunk in again. im almost sure its a parisite or something like that...how do i treat her?

    i was told once apon a time ages ago but i dont remember now

    shes not showing signs of stress and my male is as happy as can be

    any help?

    Nobody has any idea? with all the knowledge floating around out there, no one knows the answer to this question? :confused::confused::confused::confused:


    All I know about Puffers is when I first set up my tank, my son and his g/f thought it would be cool to buy me one.(dogfaced, real cute too) It ate my coral banded shrimp and back to the store it went........ Sorry I can't help ya here...

    haha its ok!
    ive had them both for about a year now....they are literally no bigger then a bee (or a pea as another name for them pea puffer) and they are fw and truely harmless. i know the bigger ones are nasty buggers but i love puffers anyway :)

    however i would love to make sure she gets healthy again. id be sad if she died
