I had this problem with my puffers years ago. Is your tank fully cycled? What else is in the tank? What are your water parameters? Salt level?

Do you have any salt in the water?

 

[Fish-Noobie]

yes i have salt its at 12 on mine (whole numbers nut decimals) and theres 3 other puffers puffer pack said its from stress

 

[GP]

What kind of puffers do you have? And yes, if the fish is new to the tank its most likely stressed because the otehr puffers are keeping it from taking a peice of territory...

 

[Fish-Noobie]

read the title and they all just kinda sleep together in a bundle

Did you ever find out from the LFS what Sg they were kept in at the store?

 

[GP]

Also how old are the fish and what size tank?

 

[Fish-Noobie]

around 20g im looking forward to geting a 150g if it doesnt cost more then $1800
and it was high as hell in the fish store it was around 25 i was wondering what it was so i poured some water they gave to me into the hydrometer and it just shot up and there about 1-2 weeks old they are currently eating live feeding guppys i hope
