Can anyone point me to some resources that will help me diagnose a problem I am having with my Spiny Box Puffer? I haven't had much luck finding any.
Over the past 10 days or so a growth is occurring over one of his eyes. It is white and is slowly getting larger. I am trying to get a picture, but the puffer isn't cooperating yet.
It is currently being treated in with hyposalinity since it came down with ich a few weeks ago (S.G 1.009). I haven't noticed visible ich in 2 weeks. He is about three weeks into the treatment. The tank seems to be going through a cycle. Ammonia just went back down to zero yesterday and the Nitrite is somewhere between 0.05 - 0.1 PPM.
I am not sure how much it cycled as I only caught as the parameters as they where coming back down. A couple of snails I missed when removing inverts died in the tank due to the hyposalinity treatment.
Thanks!
