I know that the longer you soak the food the more meds you can get into the puffer at once, but since your congo is sick he / she may not be as willing to try foods that smell unusual. I suggest using a live worm soaking it in jungle parasite clear and garlic for only 15-20 mins instead of hours, this way the worm will still be sort of alive and wiggling when you drop it in but will still have some meds inside. Then tie the worm to a string and let it squirm in front of your congo, and hopefully she'll go for it!
This is all really good advice, however, if you can use a syringe/needle of sorts to inject the worm with the medicine then the puffer won't be able to smell it, anyway, and you get more meds into your puffer's system.
Yeah, good ideas but just dont use a syringe/needle from a junkie off the street though. I really dont know who would sell a needle for a syringe. Cant buy them around here unless you are a diabetic.
