Need help new Congo puffer.
I’m new to this. Apologize for my ignorance.
Bought this puffer from Predatory Fins 5 days ago (Tuesday). When I put the puffer in my tank, I gave him frozen blood worms and he didn't eat it. I thought it was strange, but figured maybe because he literally just got into a new tank - he wasn't going to eat.
I kept trying to give frozen blood worms and a snail but he wouldn't eat in front of me.
Yesterday (thursday) | put in a small piece of raw shrimp and he didn't eat it, so | left it in there and walked away. I couldn't tell if he actually ate it or not so I ended up throwing out the shrimp after 3 hours.
The kid at predatory fins told me they feed the puffers vibra bites and raw cut shrimp. I found it hard to believe but I gave it a try and bought some vibra bites, anddd he didn't eat that either.
Now I see these white spots on his skin. What can this be? It doesn't look like Ich. I have a Siamese algae eater, 1 pea puffer. Tank has been cycling for 1 month now with those two fish inside. Water is clean. Tested the water with those strips. No nitrites. Some (20-40) nitrates.
I noticed the pea puffer pecking at him. Can it be from trauma or something else ?
