Hello! So there is definitely something going on with my puffer. About a month ago I introduced a fish into my tank that was sick and ended up dying last week. Many people on here thought that it was velvet, but I do not know for sure. I moved into college and ended up tearing down my tank and setting it back up on Thursday. My puffer has been itching against the rocks a decent bit and I have a scooter blenny who has been acting completely normal through all of this. Today, Sunday, I noticed my puffer hanging out on the rocks as if he was sleeping which is out of the ordinary since I have my windows open and lights on. Also, when he's on the rock like that, it looks like he might be breathing heavy. I tested my water and everything was normal except the ammonia was 0.25 which may have been from some water spilling into the bath tub and making it back into the tub where I mixed my water. So I did a 55-60% water change and threw in a dose of quick start. Since then, I've caught the puffer itching a few times and curled up against the rock once. I brought out krill (his favorite) when he was curled up and he still went crazy for it and acted completely normal. I also gave them some mysis shrimp yesterday and they both were eating.
