What salt did you use? Use marine salt. What is your SG right now? You have 1 ppm ammonia which can be diluted via water change. But the whole data showed your tank has not finished cycling at all!:question:
Use marine salt. Your puffer is better off in a brackish water environment. You'll need a hydrometer to check your specific gravity. How long have you had this puffer? Brackish water specimens when kept in pure freshwater tend to starve themselves to death. Fungal and bacterial infections are also a consequence as well.
You have to use a hydrometer. If you are ready for brackish water, I'd suggest researching deeper in this field. You really need marine salt, not aquarium salt.
