dog face puffer - Help!

Question
Recently bought a dog face puffer. Approx 4 days ago. On ist day of putting him in tank - got bad advice from pet store and he puffed up and breathed in air as I put him in tank with net. He had big air bubble on side of his body but I quickly got advice from net and helped him disperse this. He recovered and ate for 2 days. But this morning he is not eating any just lying on bottom behind rock and seems to be panting heavily. Temp, salinity etc OK. Fed him 4 times yesterday - could it be due to that? overfeeding? conflicting advice on feeding also- Aaaaagh!

He is about 6 inches long, so not a baby. Ant ideas please?

Thank you.

Answer
Hey Ann,

without getting all the information that you think is perfect, i cant do anything but guess?

And yea, nets and puffers, not a good idea.

Feeding, 2 times a day.



I would like a list of test results, and what equipment you have, and how old your system is, along with your regular routine maintenance shcedules
