| How long have the two been in the same tank? What size tank? This does not sound good....possible internal injuries. If it was ingested air, the puffer will usually be fighting to get itself down in the tank. The guinea or sapol does not get along with the golden morph of the arothron meleagris. I have seen this both in very large tanks as well as in the ocean. I have tried several combinations with the sapo or guinea being considerably smaller than the golden with the same results - the golden ends up injured or killed. I have seen personally and have heard multiple times where the two may have been housed in the same tank for a period of time - sometimes several months, only to come home one day and find the golden injured or killed. If the golden survives, there needs to be a tank divider or a separate tank for each. Best of luck.
