Just put the fish in this solution for 1 or 2 hours with air bubbling, will turn cloudy and pour away the water.

Its commonly sold as copper safe, used for critters like fish lice, hook worm, skin gill flukes etc...remove any shrimps when medicating, cause it kill them too.

make sure to treat it again on day 7 and 14 to remove the parasites as they hatch again from the eggs. The copper will remove the adult/juvenile worms but not the eggs
