Fresh water puffer fish are no different then salt, and can actually be acclimated to a salt tank.

From what i remember fresh water puffers, when they eat they get a big swollen belly, but as soon as its digested it goes right down again, so i think what your seeing is normal.

Now if you are worried that she has a parasite, there is a treatment that you soak the food in to make them poop it out. It might be myaxin but i can't remember.

You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words
