Most treated puffers recover in a week or so, but depending on the kind of infection, additional treatments may be helpful to prevent reinfection.

Thanks Nick

He's eating well but his poo is now a pinky/white colour!

He just pooed out a load of pinky poo and now it's starting to come out brown/black again so hopefully he's cured

i treat all my new fish with ip treatment never had a problem thereafter.... only thing which keeps coming back in my main tank is dropsey... mainly because i treat... one fish 9usually tetra) will die and then the other fish eat parts of it and they get bad a few weeks later...... currently only one danio showing sighns of it so ill get rid of him as soon as i can catch him... the acaras and cutiepie touch wood have always been fine

Naboo's had a few more pinky/white poos latley but I've just seen him do a big fat brown poo (sorry if you're having your breakfast)

The funny thing is he even had a close look at it as if he was checking it out to see if it was ok

Actually, I was eating a piece of Dove Chocolate my kids brought me....I'll never look at it the same way again....

Sounds like things are better. Mine passed worms for the first 48 hours and then changed to normal color and consistency. Huh, and I thought, as a trauma nurse, I was odd for being happy when my patients had a normal poo...Now its fish!
