Generally, I wait for symptoms of IPs.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I dewormed them once after I get them and then haven't had to again and wouldn't again until there were signs.
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.

Re: Should I worm my MBU?
How old is he and how long you had him? If his belly sinks in between feedings I would treat, if it does not why worry. Finally a member near me yay. Was starting to think I was the only puffer keeper in the south lol. Where you from? Got any pics of your puffer to share?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
