The Puffer Forum

Hi everyone,
My fahaka puffer seems pretty healthy, but I read on this forum that if their poo is white and stringy it means they have internal parisites. Is this true?

What do you think? How is the best way to treat IP?

Looks like IPs to me.

Since you're in Canada the easiest medication to get is the Jungle Fizz Tabs Anti-Parasitic stuff. Put 1/4 of a tablet into 1/4c of water and soak the food in that for several hours. Feed once or twice a day for 4-6 days.

Can't hurt. His waistline doesn't show it though.

He doesnt look too serious right now but its better to be safe than sorry and nip it in the bud now.
