Could you please describe how you're doing your water change?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

If they are stringy, it could be internal parasites. Out of the 17 puffs I have owned only 3 have not shown signs of parasites. Being wild caught, ip's tend to come with the territory. If you notice signs we are here to help :)

Are they're other signs for parasites and what are the best way to treat them? is it with a general internal parasite med or do puffers needs something more unique?

It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
