The Puffer Forum

i treated my mbu last week for ips as he was skinny but there were no other signs.today i noticed his poo was different.it started as a tiny white ball then went stringy and transparent.then 2 mins later he done 2 normal black poos.he seems fine in his self.eating great and putting on weight.shall i treat him again?? when a puffer has ips will they always have that poo or will it only show up now and again?? his poo has been fine up untill now.
im not sure what to do?


im thinking of using this http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/sterazin.htm or this http://www.waterlife.co.uk/waterlife/octozin.htm

what do you think i should use?
so how much should i soak his food in?? and how long should i do it for??

Hi; Again please do not use these things prazi; pro is highly recommended for ips in our puffs and treat soaked for 5-days and no it won't hurt to treat again just to make sure you have got them all-Have you seen any external ip's?? if so then i would use something that long time members recommend-good luck-river

Here's my thread with similar problem some time ago. See if that helps..

Where's Surlaw and J-P btw.. ?? Haven hear from them for quite a while..

his poo never looks like that.never white and stringy.it is chain looking tho with a pink tinge to it,but only when he has prawns.
i also found that when ever i fed him the cooked prawns he would spend the rest of the night laying down.tonight ive given him the raw prawn and hes still up and about.i will keep an eye on him.
