The last two meds are very pointless. Kubotais are always one of the trickiest to become accustomed to domesticated feeding. Try to use levamisole hydrochloride and add garlic to the foods to coax it to eat.
Don't you have stores there that sell farm supplies? They're usually sold for cattle. Problem is the med is old fashioned and being replaced by flubendazole and fenbendazole so it may be a little tricky to find it. It works very well though for suspected internal parasite problems, which often are the cause of anorexia among loaches.

Yes, you can but prazi is very limited in its capability to eliminate internal parasites. It's stuck to tapeworms and flukes only. Levamisole on the other hand can cover the three types of internal parasites.
