Question
my two spotted green puffers have seemed to be in general good health,  until latly they both kind sit on the bottom and dont do much. their stomachs also turned an ashy color. whats goin on?are they sick??  also whats a good food to give them? they seem picky. thanks so much for all the help given in the past, as it is much appreciated. thanks again....cody

Answer
Hi Cody,
 I have very limited experience with puffers.  Sitting on the bottom doesn't sound like a good thing.  I assume that your water and temperature and all that stuff are good, right?

 You might try giving them a little brine shrimp (live is best, but frozen would be fine).
