Soak food to get rid of intestinal parasites

[Sgooosh]

So many many of my female guppies(big and small)
Have white stringy poop
I want to feed them garlic but I don’t know how much to feed, how to do it, and how long I should feed them(days)
Also prazipro, same questions
Thanks
@Colin_T perhaps you have links to a thread about this?

I don't feed fish garlic.

If you want to mix praziquantel, get some raw prawn or frozen bloodworms and drain the moisture off them. Then soak/ mix it with the medication, leave for 2-3 minutes and then feed the fish as much as they can eat. Feed them this mixture 3-5 times during the day. Repeat treatment at weekly intervals for 3-4 weeks.

I thought Prazi was for external parasites?

Praziquantel kills intestinal flat worms (eg tapeworms) and skin and gill flukes.

It doesn't kill intestinal round worms (eg camallanus worms); they need a different medication.

Mine don’t have the red out of their bum.
they look normal so I assume it is flat worms

Question: do I have to use blood worm?
Could I use dry food perhaps
