dead worms decompose rapidly, the resulting bacteria may sicken or kill the fish, and the water will become polluted.
just out of curiosity, what are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels?

Re: Are figure eight puffers especially susceptible to ammonia spikes?
what size tank?
what other occupants?
what kind of water test kit? strips or liquid?
why check nitrates, but not nitrites & ammonia?
did you dose the tank with Prime without checking for ammonia?

Re: Congo puffer treatment
sorry, I missed that.
try testing some distilled water for comparison, it will have no chemicals of any kind in it.

Check your "out of the tap" water parameters.

Re: Congo puffer treatment
Your feeding schedule sounds good for a start.
Ammonia and nitrites should never be above ZERO.
Some nitrates will always be present.
Regular water changes minimizes that, as long as your water isn't high in nitrates to begin with.

Or is it totally dependent on individual characters? this will result in inevitable slaughter, not the best thing for the fish, not the best thing for your daughter. bear in mind that w...
