Treating gill flukes in my F8's with quick cure. Got to the store today bought some fizz tabs. My question is do I need to do a large water change before adding fizz tab? Didn't know if the two meds should mix or not. Thanks! OH! Also can I put my carbon back in or leave it out for the fiz tabs also?

It's possible they're leaving the puffer's gills. How long have you been treating?

I don't see it now. I tell you PP I cant seem to get a break with my puffs. I started treatment Tuesday night. Also I bought a pleco. I've got a lot of heck about him so I'm removing him. However he is now covered in ich. My puffs are slowly getting a spot here and there. So now I am treating for both. I will remove pleco once he is ich free. I am so worried about my fish

The salt should get rid of the ich on the pleco.

So should I keep up the gill fluke treatment for a few more dsys? Just to be safe?

How long does it say to treat & how long have you been treating?

Started tuesday. Treat every 48 hrs wth a 25% WC. Up to 2 treatments. Can do a third treatment when treating anchor worms or lice.

If you're not sure it's gone, then go with the 3rd treatment.

Will do! Thank you for your help PufferPunk. I've read a lot of your articles and trust your advice.

Pufferpunk, you said the flukes may be coming out? Do they normally come out when being treated?

Of course, they die & leave their host.
