Preventing the spread of parasites?


Recommended Posts

Despite my best efforts, I just lost my last dwarf puffer to internal parasites. I'm thinking of moving my betta into the tank my puffer was in but I'm really worried that he'll catch whatever parasites made my puffer waste away. What can I do to protect him? I've already done a 100% water change and changed the substrate. Should I change the filter media as well? Should I bleach the thermometer, filter intake etc or would that be overkill? Do the plants in the tank pose any risk? I have no idea what specific parasite killed the puffer, just that he wasted away over a couple of weeks. I really don't want to see that happen to my betta! Any advice?
