r/Puffers

How hard is it to move with a puffer? I will be moving into an apartment in a couple of months and would like to get one then but am unsure if moving would stress it out or anything like that

Hi yall!! I’m new to the subreddit but I’m glad I found this place when I did. I have three Pea Puffers named Shock, Lock, and Barrel (Barrel being the largest and male). Over the past few days he’s been super finicky about eating, then this yesterday/this morning, I watched him start resting. Literally using floater plant roots to support his body vertical (he did the same on a stick in the tank too). After a quick isolation and coax eating session, I returned him back into his original tank where he began to let himself get suctioned up against the filter. Only when I’d nudge him with my forceps did he officially move to swim off briefly, only to then rest somewhere again without moving a single fin.

TLDR: I have three Pea Puffers. My big boy, Barrel, is not eating and keeps laying in the roots of floating plants and nearby foliage with no fin movement. As of today, it looks like he’s purposely getting himself suctioned to the filter

Is he about to complete his life cycle? Should I follow through with a water change to see if that’s the issue? Is there anything I can do to aid/assist further?

I’d provide pictures but unfortunately my back camera is broken…any help/advice appreciate!! TYIA💚
