My new fresh water puffer fish is swimming strangely and breathing deep slow Is there anything you can do to stop it dying?

Here are some steps you can take to try and help your freshwater puffer fish:

- Check your water parameters. Make sure the pH, temperature, and ammonia levels are within the appropriate range for your pufferfish.

-Perform a water change. A 25-50% water change can help to remove any toxins or debris that may be irritating your pufferfish's gills.

-Add StressCoat or another water conditioner. This can help to reduce stress and protect your pufferfish's gills.

-Move the pufferfish to a quarantine tank. This can help to isolate it from any other fish that may be causing stress.

-Stop feeding it for a few days. This can help to reduce the amount of waste produced, which can help improve the water quality.

-Observe your fish carefully for any signs of improvement. If its condition does not improve within a few days, it is important to take it to a veterinarian.

Here are some additional tips for caring for your freshwater puffer fish:

-Feed it a diet of live or frozen foods. This can help to keep it healthy and active.

-Provide plenty of hiding places. Pufferfish are territorial and need places to hide from other fish.

-Keep the water temperature between 75 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

-Maintain the pH between 6.5 and 7.5.

-Keep the ammonia and nitrite levels at 0 ppm.

By following these steps, you can help your freshwater puffer fish live a long and happy life.
