Thought u weren’t able to get any?
Being friends with a professor helps a lot, he managed to dig up some praziquantel for me. Round 2 vs worms should be better :)

If it has a parasite regardless if it eats or doesn't eat you need to treat your tank. Treating your tank if you really care about your fish it's worth it it's not that expensive to do it doesn't have any adverse effects and if it still doesn't work you can look for other cures. I have about 25 poly so I can't keep track of what eats and doesn't eat everyday but I did notice some stop eating when the worms came some kept eating.GL.

I would try to get an aquarium orientated medication. Dosages are safer that way :)
