Hello to everyone,
I am fairly new to the hobby. I have a
30 gal Cube/ 25 lbs live rock. Fluval C3 filter. Fluval Heater.
1 Porcupine Puffer
4 Damsels
1 Green Emerald Crab
2 small red crabs
5 Hermit Crabs
5 Snails
1.026 SG
PH 8.0
Ammonia = 0<0.25
Nitrite = 0 ppm
Nitrate = 160 ppm
My puffer has gone blind, I first noticed about 3 weeks ago. I have tried Melafix for 1 week, and although his spirits have improved, I can tell he doesnt see. He used to come to the tank immediately to beg for food like a little dog. Ive had him for about 8 months now, never any problems. I feed him dried shrimp, frozen krill, Sallys Marine Cuisine. Now the only way that he eats is if I literally hand feed him. Im really bummed out. I know that I need to keep weekly water changes until my Nitrates are down. I could really use some help, Im sad that my Gordo is blind. The other fish in the tank seem fine except for him, he is blind. Any advice is welcome.
