Treat pea puffers for internal worms/parasites

[white specter crayfish]

Today my lfs got in some pea puffers, but 2 looked like they had internal parasites, I'm going to try to feed them more often to see if they fatten up, but if not then I need to treat them, what do you guys recommend? I was thinking metroplex by seachem

Try prazipro and repeat the dose after the initial treatment.

So for prazipro, should I out it in the tank or use it as a bath? if so how much would you recommend for a bath? I don't have spare tanks or anything to use for treatment

in the tank, never had an issue using full dosage with lungfish and bichirs.

ok, these are pea puffers in a 10 gallon tank though, so I'm worried about the dose being twice as much as needed, though I will scale it back a bit. I will try to use some garlic soaked blood worms first, if that doesn't work I'll go for some prazipro, and then levamisole (if I can find it) if that doesn't work

As already mentioned. Won’t mess with ur beneficial bacteria.
