I wasnt sure if this was the proper forum, but here goes....a week & one day ago, I got 2 dwarf puffers. One was sorta round, not plump & the other thin. Out of 8 days they have only eaten twice. Now they are both thin 
I have offered them frozen bbs both ate this 1x,bloodworms both ate this 1x,flakes (I swear they laughed at me 
) freeze dried bloodworms, live snails (tho I think the snails are abit to large 
)& frozen daphina(sp?).They swim up look at whats offered & roll their eyes & swim away 
. I've read of them being prone to internal parasites & my question is....the med that was suggested is supposed to be put in their food...ummm, if they don't eat how can the med make them well? btw, they are in a 5 gal. aquarium, alone, w/ water & filter media from a fully established, healthy tank, so water params (tested this AM) & cycling isn't a factor in this problem. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.
