The Puffer Forum

Hi guys The site is down for a number of reasons, firstly, there was a bad batch, so supply is very limited, the laws are due to change in a few months, so it made sense to close it as it needs to be re-branded and renamed/formulated and because of problems at home, as Ian says, if anyone wants any ...

Personally, I wouldnt touch any praziquantel based meds with a very long stick.

With discus, if its got IP it can take ages for them to get really ill, if you want some flubendazole based meds that is the most effective treatment, pm me, it usually takes about a week, two at most to get there

I wouldnt simply because of the snails and other inverts, it could well kill them. Its never been tested in a set up salty tank as it wasnt developed for this, although if you can isolate the fish, you should be ok, its been used on rays etc without a problem. For a number of reasons, the site has b...

I still have the 'wormer' for sale, but due to a few problems at the moment, the website is offline, please pm me if interested.
Sorry for any problems this may cause.

If you dont like them and dont want them, wipe them out with flubenol 15? have a look at the sticky at the top of this forum for info on it

Yep, most of the time it sems a week to get the the states, if you go for international recorded is supposedly gets there quicker.
As for customs, theres been no problems so far....

I thought I would share my mates ,ethos of drilling tanks.... sound mad, but it works This is my method for drilling tanks, which I have used to drill thousands of holes in many shapes and sizes of tanks, both in situ containing livestock, and empty. I would point out this ISN’T the recommended meth...

It is well documented that the downside of using prazi and similar anti-parasites are the side effects, mainly caused by the mode of action of the med, here is a c & p from wikepedia which explains it, and I cite this as the main reason for trying to steer members away from using such meds. No c...

I use medications that have been proven effective on saltwater fish. Fish veterinarians that have completed many years of research recommend the drugs that I have suggested. Fair enough. Flubenol 15 has been used for around 20 years in the trade and its never killed one fish, saltwater, brackish or...

I am not familiar with flubenol use for saltwater fish. Praziquantel and fenbendazole are better dewormers for saltwater fish. Here is what I found on flubenol: "This Medicine will kill skin flukes, gill flukes, camallanus worms, tapeworms, anchor worms and other helminthics commonly found in ...

Thats one wicked looking puffer, I love it

You say you dosed 2 milligrams? and do you mean 2 grams?
If its a 20 gallon tank, I would suggest one gram, although 2 isnt going to be a problem.
Each pack contains just over 4 grams

we are going slightly off topic, but nevermind.....

When I got my first batch of discus, it took them 12 weeks before they would come out and eat, they can last a long time without food.
I would treat them weekly for a few weeks and see how they do

A little question Paul: If Flubenol makes the parasites starve to death, how long time would that take? Only two of my discuses has started eating again, and there's absolutely something still bothering them. It depends on whats wrong with them, if its lernea or flukes it can be a matter of hours i...

Where are you? flubenol 15 would be a lot more effective than a salt bath, have a look at the sticky at the top of this forum

Let me see if I understand this right, it's been more than a few years since college chemistry and only a few less than that since I had any good coursework in neurology... So, flubenol is a chemical compound with a certain ammount of flubenzadole bound to it. This compound will bind with a certain...
