The Puffer Forum

I bet you're all getting sick of me asking questions, but i have another one. (and yes, i am a worrier)

With IPs is the puffers poop always white and stringy or intermittently white and stringy? I treated both my dps for IPs when i got them and thought it had cleared up in the skinniest, Vettel. Yesterday i noticed what i thought was white stringy poop but then today he has normal poop.

He seems to be filling out and isn't nearly as skinny as when i got him, plus today during a gravel vacuum i must have loosened up some hiding snails and he gorged, he's so fat right now :/

Should i go ahead and do another round of treatment or are there other symptoms i should be looking for?

Also, so this post isn't just filled with my worrying have a cute photo of Vettel sleeping on some driftwood. He sleeps in the strangest places and has now found a super secret sleeping place where even i can't find him.

if your worried, go a head and treat wont hurt anything

What do you use Phoenix? Im thinking about trying a course on mine, they just seem to get skinny hours after I feed em...

I was using just some anti-parasitic i got from the lfs but i think i'm going to order some of the jungle brand stuff that people recommended. Mine seems to stay fat a while but isn't really putting on much bulk like his buddy. Plus, yesterday i vacuumed and disturbed a feast for them so they are fasting today to get rid of their giant bellies. i'll be careful not to do that in the future.
