Treatment of live food

[FishDojo God]

Let say you have acces to farmed tilapia and wild glass shrimps .
How would you treat them against parasites before introduce them in your waters and in the digestive system of your Pbass?

Potassium permanganate?
salt?
Other?

thx

Well if it were me...I'd just drop it in my tank and let nature take it's course.
But I'm a purist.

I m experimenting way to treat lure fish with available chemicals not from aquarium store.
Against worm Nic advise me to use prazi pro bur the price is high and product not accessible where i live so look after buy main component that is praziquantel.
1 tablet is 600mg and for less than a dollar
i can treat following ratio of praziquantel per oz of Prazi pro 5%:
194 liters or 51 gallon of water.

Now i m tring to mix it with pellets and moisture to give to kinds of fingelings Tilapias.
They do eat it.
Tilapias not dead yet. lol
