    The pics are too small. While I consider puffers(porkys) to be fairly hardy, they actually have their own problems. Once in "trouble" puffers seem to be "in real trouble".

    Have the symptoms worsened worstened? Gotten worse? Since, your original post? When I ask that, I mean, more spots(in gills), lethargic behavior ,bad eating habits? I've experienced puffers dieing and it doesn't seem fix-able.

    symptoms have not gotten worse, he doesnt act sick, like right now when i took these pics hes begging for food, thats why im confused, showing no signs except the spots and now the ulcers, and it looks as thought there are LESS white spots today

    Do you have a hospital tank? It doesn't look anything like ich to me. I would try a broad spectrum antibiotic, but you really don't want to do that in your tank.
