[pufferfanatic]

i got my puffer about 5 days ago and hes eating fine. but when i got him he developed ich. so i got copper safe and treated him. then a day or 2 later the ich is almost gone but now the is a big white spot above his eye ( like the color is gone) also there is a bulge on his side near its tail and i dont know what to do .. Please help!!1

Not much to do except wait and see, to be honest. He's probably fine.

Ich will not go away in 2 days, so give it two weeks for the lifecycle of the ich to fully process and to make sure that every last spore was killed by the meds (so keep treating with prescribes dosages).

As lynden said, might have to just wait it out, even though you feel helpless....

Just a small snippet of info i got from a marine biologist @ seaworld australia near to where i live and she reliably informed
me that for itch and whitespot (mainly in a reef aquarium) to raise the salinity and slowly! The whitespot will die and the itch go away!
Then slowly lower it again to normal levels.
Probaly pointless, but it worked brilliantly on my blue tang in my reef aquarium and i was 10 mins from ADDING CHEMICALS.
