The Puffer Forum

One of my three fig 8 puffers has a bulge on one side of its belly.Previous to just noticing it today it was the only whose roundness from eating sessions did not reduce as digestion occurred.Intestional parasite ????? oh what to do !!????? Can anyone help or do you need more info.I have had him about month and his activeness has defintaley subsided and also doesn't present the same eagerness he once had at diner time,snails,bloodworms,clam on half shell.

Thank you in advance ,

Steven

Pufferpunk had a good article.. I was reading it the other day.. about the tummy lump that was seen later to be moving. I forget where it was on this forum, but correct me if I am wrong it was a tapeworm and seemed to never go away, but she got it though. TY btw for recording all of that..I don't think I finished it all yet..

I appreciate you jumping in all over the forum but this post is from Aug 27, 2019
