Well, after that worm I noticed, 3 days ago I saw another one but this time it was swimming. I'm getting satisfied because worms are getting out from my puffer, but I'm facing another problem: my F8 just eats snails, probably he relates shrimps to the bitter taste of prazi
he's is refusing shrimps, clams and dried freezed worms, I don't know why, 'cause I just offered medicated shrimp... What should I do? What's the matter with him?

Try soaking the food in garlic, and try frozen food.

When he's healthy and worm free, let him starve for a few days... then offer him the shrimp.

How will I know if he IS worm free?? And how many days should I let him starve?

UPDATING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
19/01 (night) - Melafix (during 7 days)
20/01 (night)- I began the treatment: adding INTO the water 2mg/l Prazi + 5mg/l Metro
(WC - 100% daily)
26/01 (night)- I added into the water 2mg/l Levamisole
28/01 (night) - I stopped adding the meds, after 48H of Levamisole bath. After another 100%WC, I added 1 TEAspoon of epsom salt/5gallon and I'm going to keep this for 7 days.
During the first 4 days I could feed him with medicaded shrimp, after that, as I mentioned, he stopped to eat, jus accepts snails. I tried yesterday to let him 24h with no food, I mixed garlix with the medicaded shrimp but he did refuse to eat it...
What do you think about all of it???
