My porcupine pufferfish has a cloudy patch on her right fin and seems to have a bit of a torn tail. I just noticed today after watching her eat. She was breathing a little heavy after feeding but she seems to do that sometimes. I have also only ever seen her puff up on a few occasions but saw her puffed up about a week ago. She seems a little pale and is hanging out near the top of tank which is very uncommon for her. I don’t know what could be going on but in the same tank I recently lost my blue throat trigger and my niger trigger. I am unsure of the cause of my blue throat trigger as he started swimming only backwards and had a little goo come from his eye and then died suddenly. My niger trigger was breathing very heavy and was moved to qt where he started swimming upside down and then died ( I attempted to treat with Maracyn ). Now I’m starting to think I may have a bacterial problem in the tank since my puffer is showing this cloudy fin which I think could be fin rot. I also just recently added a small panther grouper about a week ago that was qt for 30 days. He is acting fine. Both are eating well. The porcupine, panther, and snowflake eel are the only ones in the 150 gallon right now. Tank has been running for about 15 months.
