In order to get better experience on the deworming I intentionally grabbed a less than healthy puffer from a seller who is more of a flow through than a QT and deworm online shop. Not only that I got this individual around Christmas during a colder spell with one more who appeared to be in better condition on arrival. This thread will be focused on the one puffer and how it progresses through deworming. The sale price back then was too good ( a gift from a family member ) and I took the jump knowing the risks. This could still end poorly for this puffer but so fsr so good. The goal was to get real world practice in deworming and conditioning as rough of a puffer as possible to prepare for a potential purchase of wild caught species without QT or deworming in the future. The condition of this one was as bad as I was personally comfortable trying with my current ability. Day of arrival Treatment with prazi pro (praziquantel) begins (I lost my scoop for my paracleanse and didnt want to guess). At some point this spotted congo lost the bottom fin to the muscle. Seems like possibly bitten off before arrival here. Day 9 - Progress made with praziquantel. Still a little more work to do before Expel-P (Levamisole Hydrochloride) Day 14 first day of Expel-P (Levamisole Hydrochloride). Id say we definately had some "expel of a P" in this gif. Day 16 2 days post 1st round of Expel-P (Levamisole Hydrochloride). We are one more round of Expel-P (Levamisole Hydrochloride) and then a round or two of fenbendazole to finish up the QT treatment here. Eating well and with that personality now. I expect this puffer will thrive and achieve the condition where the normal source send their fish to me by the end of the process. For comparison, this is the condition I recieved a pair from my normal source: More to follow as we progress- 14 replies

Hi everyone! I just setup a 29 gallon pea puffer tank. I started their med trio today. For the next round of deworming in about 3 weeks, is it better to just stick with general cure or use another dewormer? I also have levamisole which I bought from Greg Sage about a year ago. Would that be better? -
Does any one ever try using Mebendazole as dewormer? -
I've currently got a batch of fish in QT, having finished the first round of Paracleanse and waiting 2 weeks to repeat. Three mollies were thin when I got them, but otherwise looked healthy--active, scales and fins looked very good. Now that they've had dewormer, how soon should they start to plump up? It has been four days since they had the second dose, they've been fed 2x per day, and they don't look a bit less thin. -
Hey everyone, I'm going to get some pea puffers soon, and looking in to quarantining them. Theres an aquarium co op article that uses the trio of meds sold on the website, and then another video ofcorey from 2018 states some different API meds. Im curious what the best approach to deworming and quarantining pea puffers is and any tips anyone can offer. thank you! -
I am geting a amazon puffer VERY SOON and I was wondering how to de worm a puffer I was also seeing what you guys think about Amazon puffers and apistos. -
Hello my fellow canadians, I was wondering, how do you deworm fish? With the very limited stock of meds in Canada we cant just go out and get paraclense (we need a vets perscription for that). I know that enough salt can kill worms/ internal parasites. I have also read of Supertech 100% natural fish health remedy And how it treats for external parasites such as ich and also bacterial infections and fungus. But I have never read of people using it for internal parasites. So when QT'ing puffers and other wild caught fish do you guys even deworm? -
I have been slowly stocking 60 gallon tall. 1st ones added after med trio was 4 months ago. Last ones after med trio a month ago. I have a batch in QT right now. Question is when should I just deworm the display tank? After fully stocked? Or should I do it now before I add this batch? And in future how often should it be done?
