Dwarf puffer is sick

Question
Hello Chris,

I have a ten gallon tank in which I just transferred out my old under gravel filter and replaced it with a canister filter. In the process my tank went through a mild nitrogen cycle and one of my three dwarf puffers is looking dark/listless. Presently my tank has balanced out-any chance of survival for this little guy? What's the best thing I can do for him?

Answer
Hi David;

You might try a 25% water change. This often perks them up. Make sure he has plenty of places to hide and recover.
