Porcupine puffer not eating or moving
So I currently have a 3 inch porcupine and have been living in my 100 gallon saltwater tank with no other inhabitants. He been eating fine. His diet normally consists of baby shrimp and krill. I recently had a dogface puffer pass away the other day and he since then he just floats and lays on the sand.
Could it be the fact that he's lonely and is depressed. Would it be a coincidence that he acting strangely after the death of my dogface puffer. When my dogface puffer was alive, my porcupine was living happily and would be always hungry and always be comming up for food and now I noticed he's slowly floating at the top and kinda uninterested in the food I'm offering him. I did noticed he had a little ich on his fins but white streaks did appear on the back , but I wasn't really worried then because he was eating and swimming pretty healthy.
Okay so I used a medication known as dip away today and noticed that the ich gone away but the other problem is that he's not even floating just laying on the ground and I tried to move him just to get him going, but he looks like he having trouble swimming, and I really dnt know what to do about it.. Is he sick.. Or could it be that theirs no other tankmates with him at the moment.
I'm worried
I check all my levels( here's the readings)
Ph: 8:2
Ammonia: between 0ppm and 0.25
Nitrite: between 0ppm and 0.25( a tinge of purple in it)
NitrAte: 0ppm
Copper:0ppm
