Thanks!

That does help. I will do both at once but make sure I stick to meds that are only mixed into food and not the water, which I prefer anyways.

Thanks for getting that info for me, BTW.

So I was just looking through my stuff and noticed I actually already have PraziPro. Can this be used to soak food in? The directions say it should be used as a bath, so I doubt it but I thought I would ask anyways.

Not sure about it being able to soak into the food, but if you have any freeze dry food, it'll be your best bet of getting the most meds into the fish. Fresh food just doesn't soak up as much as FD would.

I don't think prazipro is good in the food, you may have to go out and get Praziquantel, :cry: other than that I don't think you should do the bath thing unless you contact the company and find out, how is she this morning?

Shes well. I mean her belly is very sunken again even though she ate a lot yesterday but she is very active and brightly coloured. I am trying to feed her small amount a few times a day instead of at once. She just begs for food all day long.

I guess I should go get Praziquantel because I do not want to do medicine baths while she is in hypo. I just want to stick to food.

One thing I noticed is that her feces are "normal" and not stringy or anything. Just like any other fish I have ever had. Is this normal? I thought they usually get white stringy feces?

I'm not sure if thier poop is normal looking when they have IP. Either way the meds won't be bad for her even if she doesn't have the IP's.
Just keep her well fed do lot's of water changes and she should be fine. Have you ever tried giving her a small open clam, they love that stuff! Just be sure to freeze it first to kill off anything that may be lurking in it and of course thaw it first :razz: :lol:

Yeah I have a freezer full of frozen clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, prawns, ect.

I've had puffers for about 5 years now, so I have figured out what they like. I agree that they LOVE clams!

Ah, just checking, there are a few people out there that think any fish will thrive on flakes! :mrgreen:

Yeah its sad that some fish only ever eat flakes :( Too often I hear of puffers getting lock jaw from an iodine deficiency because of a Krill only diet. It can be fixed sometimes by dosing iodine right in the tank but often its too late and the poor guys starve to death.
