The Puffer Forum

How many full treatments has the puffer had?

I've soaked their food in it 4 times, and they've had the two day treatments three times. This morning it looked like my healthy puffer was purging dead worms from his anus, but the sickly one still looks the same.

Good sign the healthy puffer is purging dead worms. Is the sick one eating? If not perhaps the baths in the med would work. The bath treatment is in the puffer library in the IP article.

He is eating, but maybe I should try the baths anyways, cause his worms are seeming to be more stubborn.

Med baths defiantly target the issue. I have had to do med baths for betta fin rot and it kicked it's butt. The sad thing was the betta was susceptible to fin rot and kept getting it after he would heal even with sterilizing tank and equipment weekly and continued med treatment in the tank.

Poor thing. I think I'll try a bath sometime in the next few days.

Last night I noticed a red mark on my puffer's face when I got home. I'm not sure what it is. I fed him a snail before I noticed it, but it could have been there before. Maybe it's some wound or scratch?
