Valentini Puffer lost appetite

[sturuomo]

Hi, has anyone had a Valentini Puffer?

Have had mine for over 6 months. Lives with his neighbour Tomato Clown. I upped the lighting by 60watts last weekend and Valentino has stopped eating. used to feed them OSI flakes in the mornings and frozen brine shrimp in the evening.

 

With the ocassional live brine shrimp treat once a month.

 

I put some live brine shrimp on Sunday which he ate bust hasnt eaten since. He's swimming around ok and doesnt look ill. '

 

The Tomato Clown is eating normally and all levels seem ok,

except for Phosphates which are high but shouldnt affect the fish.

 

Is this normal for them to fast?

Any ideas?
