got an anchor worm outbreak in one of my tanks, even if i pluck the ones on the fish theirs more the next day so im treating with jungles parasite clear. but should i raise the temp to speed up the anchor worms life cycle? temp is 80f, tank is housing a fahaka and jardini seperated. the anchor worms must of came in with the jar:(
 
have u ever used jungle parasite with ur puffer? i would use prazipro.

its been 2 days at full dose after 2 days at half dose no probs at all, puffer looks,acts and eats with a vengence. parasite clear is puffer approved in my eyes!
 
Anchor worms need a med specific for them, salt and heat are not effective, nor is prazipro. If there are only a few you should physically remove them with forceps.
