Hi All

A friend of mine on another forum bought 2 red-tailed puffers yesterday, but they aren't doing too well. They are in a 50 L cycled, planted tank. Here's the post she made on the other forum:

The two new boys Carintoetraodon Irrubesco aren't doing too well! They are both on the bottom of the tank looking like they are gasping for air.
Perameters...
Ammona 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10-15mg/l
ph 7.8
Temp 28 degrees

I've done a 50% water change and we've put the bubble wall back in cos we're wondering if the water isn't aerated enough.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
