Okay, as the title states, i absolutely HATE dealing with parasites... and my fahaka after on and off de-worming over a month now is still randomly popping out long white stringy parasites...

So tomorrow i've decided to yet again hit up the famous Fish Street to try and find some overseas meds for parasites this time... so my question is what are the BEST and MOST EFFECTIVE parasite meds that work well with puffers? I don't care about price, i just want to have my fish DE-WORMED once in for all...

Also, does any one know how long parasites inside a puffer body roughly are? coz i swear my puffer must have over the last 2 months pooped out a good few feet of parasites already, and i've thought i was done with it till last night i came home and saw this...

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!!

Haven't tried using salt to rid the parasites since she is in no way constipated... plus, never heard of salt being used to kill parasites?
 
Okay, still looking for names of medications for IP's that work well...

I know people recommend i think its Jungle Parasite tablets? but is there anything else... also, does any one know the company that makes these meds? coz i don't want to end up picking up some knock off version of the real thing...

Also, has any one else tried curing IP's with salt?

Thanks...
