The Puffer Forum

Hello everyone. So I have gotten my first larger puffer, a humpback puffer named Chungus. He was brought into my lps in May 2019 and I used to take care of him at the shop for 2 months before I got him in September 2019. I never really noticed his waste and he used to eat live feeders such as snails and deformed fish that came into the shop. Since taking him I have gotten him reluctantly to accept frozen lance fish. I have noticed that his waste is the same pale white as the lance fish and come out as spheres. They are like capsules white poop and fish bones inside. I worried because i don't know if its parasites, the new diet or is it normal. The only puffers that I have personally kept before him, were pea puffers. And I have looked after fahakas, gsps, f8s, humpbacks and mekong river puffers at the shop. I haven't seen this happen to them. Any information would be appreciated.

Might be parasites. Even if you aren't sure, you should still treat it, just to be on the safe side!

What goes in, must come out!
