Right......as I was saying. My puffer died. (He was a figure eight puffer) He had ick. I had no idea what ick was but apparently it's a parasitic fungus that fish get when they are stressed or the temperature changes alot. So my fish suffered from both of those. It's in a small tank (3 gallons) so that contributed to it. But let me tell you. Ick is sick. It starts off as little fuzzy things on his fins, and his body and his eyes. Then it gets really bad, like fuzzy algae everywhere. My poor puffer didn't make it because I got the medicine too late. But next time, I promise to do a better job.
