You say you used mature filters.
If you have mature filters then add standard water that will just eliminate the bacteria on the filters anyway. Puffers aren't that hardy.

Esfa that wouldn't make a blind bit of difference. You need to build up the bateria in the filters. Putting a Mature filter into strange waters will kill most of the bacteria off.

you cannot cycle a new tank in less than a week,you also can not put old media in new water.it seems like you have new tank sindrome to me.also what ph have you got your water is it the same as the tank you got the fish from.have you checked your ammonia,nitrate,nitrite levels with a good test kit.make sure its not old as your ready will be false.

Yes, you can.
Use the mature media from the old ank and fill up the new tank with old water from the old tank. It's called cloning the tank. If it hadn't worked, my ammonia and nitrites would not be at 0. The tank is FULLY cycled. I thought I had posted my stats, but it seems i havnt pH: 7.6 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Everything is fine.

Well obviously everything is fine bearing in mind you have problems.
I'm also fully aware of cloaning tanks and it isn't recommended because it can FAIL. So you emptied a tank to fill another, what was in the other fish tank to cause the filters to be "mature" Don't forget puffers are dirty fish with alot of waste.

esfa you always seem to think your right but on this occasion your not by the sounds of it although your water tests are ok there is something in the water that the puffers dont like .....can i ask what test kit you are using and how old is it ....by the way i have been keeping fish for 20 odd years now and also worked in the industry for a very long time..

cant remember what test kit it is, but it's about 3 months old.
There isn't something in the water. If there was, both puffers would be ill. But only one puffer is acting strange. I think it's either a bacterial infection, or a parasite.
