I am treating two of my GSP's for internal parisites with Gel Tek Ultra Cure PX. I soak freez dried food in the medicine and then feed it to my two puffers. I was shocked today when I was looking closley at their tank and there were MILLIONS of small hair like worms all over the glass of the tank an...

I am getting a little worried about their teeth! Im really trying to get something they can eat that will naturally trim down their teeth but it is so difficult to do.
