Deworming Fahaka that won't eat
Deworming Fahaka that won't eat
Last month I got a baby Fahaka puffer, around an inch long. He ate frozen bloodworms fine and some tiny pond snails. Last week, he just completely stopped eating. I noticed the telltale signs of IP, so I medicated his food with MetroPlex and Garlic Guard to get him to eat it. Unfortunately, he seems to just refuse to eat anything I put in. I dosed the tank with PraziPro a couple days ago. I feel like by now he should be eating, but he still refuses. Is there anything else I can do? I know I should've tried to deworm the second I got him, but it's too late to regret that now.

Sounds like you're doing your best, I don't have any more suggestions than what you are already doing. Poor fella...

Yeah I didn't expect there to be much more I could do for the little guy. I'll update if anything happens.
