while i know your puffer is small, have you thought of trying other meaty foods or maybe trying to train your puffer onto pellets?
With food items, mine used to accept the small Hikari Massivore Pellets and 3mm NLS pellets at the beginning when i was pellet training her (when she was around 3-5”)...
for meaty food, i used to defrost either one frozen mussel / clam / prawn and let her peck away at as much as she could eat before removing the rest... This usually meant feeding those foods by holding onto them with tongs or long planted tank tweezers so she wouldnt accidentally bite my finger or look at my fingers as food in the future...
as for the medicine,

might be better at answering what meds from US are suitable for fish as i live in Asia...But if i remember correctly, i think the one you mentioned is one of the dewormers people use, just make sure to start with half dose as scaleless fish can be a bit more sensitive to meds than scaled fish...
Febendazole is a good dewormer. Would dose at half strength and monitor.
Thank you I'll keep it in mind when I'm at the lfs or seafood section at the market.With food items, mine used to accept the small Hikari Massivore Pellets and 3mm NLS pellets at the beginning when i was pellet training her (when she was around 3-5”)...

Do you defrost frozen bloodworms first or just sprinkle the bendazole on for 30mins before feeding?
