I recently added a stars and stripes puffer to my 150. I have had him for 2 days and when I feed him he eats the food but the spits most or all of it out. is this normal or what.... I know that when puffers eat the suck it in and kind of spit it out and re-eat it but he does not re-eat it. any ideas?

I also just noticed that he has ick. I bought "no-ick" and treated the tank which is a 150 so I should probly invest in a sick tank. Is there any thing else I could do to help the ick go away. maybe leave the white lights off or something else maybe?

white spot is common, and can be a bitch to kill, but garlic extract for their immune, and TRI SULFATE tablets really help, trust me, i have seen it first hand, and it works. and its coral reef safe BLUESHOES back me up brother and help this lad out.
