My porcupine puffer stopped eating for 2 days. And now has starting itching on rocks. I havent seen any whitespots but didn't know if they could have been confined to his gills? So i just treated with cupramine. But im unsure if i should use fluke solve incase its flukes? But he had a bad reaction to that medication last time and since i treated that last time even though briefly i thought i should try the cupramine?

Are it’s eyes cloudy? Can you post a picture? It will take a few days for the copper to start working. You can dose with praziquantel at the same time if need be.

Yes, mixing prazi and copper is fine - just watch for cloudy water from the prazi and increase the aeration. The fish can go 5 to 7 days without food, so you still have some time...
