Frustrated Golden Puffer Owner

[mike webster]

all our fish are healthy, eating, colourful and energetic, tusk, mandarin, hawkfish, blenny, jawfish etc, everytime we put a puffer in it gets sick, same scenario all the time, eats for a few days then stops and lays on the bottom and the inevitable happens, even with quarantine, any advive or same problems please let me know

Do you treat them when in quarantine? Puffers typically come just loaded with internal parasites due to their diet. Parziquantil is a first step...

when I qt, that is always part of the process...I will feed my critters the best that I can but, damm it I am not feeding worms...

weve treated them with prazi pro, we have praziquantal but its heard to get it to mix, is it true that it mixes with vodka better

Prazi always is a pain to mix. I usually soak in in a small container with ro water for about 24hrs. Then shake it up really, really well and add it to a high flow area
