The Puffer Forum

of all the puffers i have and have ever had i've never encountered internal parasites so im not exacty sure what to look for, well i recently received a tank along with a mbu from my cousin, for days he's been very lethargic, only moving to eat, and his poo looks like a string of pearls, so im thinking IP's? does anyone recommend anything better than the jungle labs parasite clear? i've never seen this i've just read a post that someone said it worked for them

If the poo is white and stringy, then yes, internal parasites are likely. The jungle labs parasite fizz tabs are nice because they have an ingredient for actual worms(prazi) and one for protozoan wasting diseases(metrodiazole) and seem to work well just added to the water, unlike "general cure" which has the same ingredients, but I've never actually seen work added to the water.
