Since you are having a hard time getting them to eat, don't feed them for a 1-2 days first and then try it again another favorite food for dps are live blackworms and you can order those over the internet.

Does this mean that I can dose live feed with Praziquantel? If so, that would really make my life a lot easier. I have access to live brine shrimp, tubifex worms and snails, all of which my three puffs really like. I just wasn't sure that dosing live feed would be effective since I doubt that they'd absorb the medication as well - it'd be something more like a dip than anything else, but at this point, I suppose I should just get what I can, huh?

@Pufferpunk: After doing research online, my original choice of medication to get was either Jungle Clear Tab or Tetra Parasite Guard, since they are both technically the same thing and contain Praziquantel and Metronidazole. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find either meds in the few, reputable LFS that I go to - following the feedback from the local forum for aquarium hobbyists online - it seemed that the LFS here don't stock those meds, so I will have to settle for the next best thing. With apprehension and little choice, I took on the intimidating task of sifting through the row upon rows of fish medicine displayed on the shelves, squinting at labels for fine print and shying warily away from dubiously packaged products. At last I settled on two possible sources - a solution based medication named Parzi-Gold whose main ingredient was Praziquantel, and API's General Cure powder. I wasn't sure if the latter treats IP, but I have been recommended by the assistants of both LFS that Parzi-Gold is the thing to use for dealing with IP, and so I decided to try that. Then this is where it gets confusing. The instructions for use on the bottle states to just dose the tank (a drop per liter) for the medication to be take effect. Skeptical, I asked the assistants if I should treat by dosing the food instead, but was told by both on separate occasions that just dosing the tank would be enough. So...which is which? I will, of course, try to do both (provided the puffs are willing to cooperate). Speaking of which, how many days should I 'fast' them before trying with the frozen bloodworms again? They just had a small feast of live snails yesterday morning.

@G S P Freak: Thank you for your suggestion! I tried the trick with the string yesterday morning before I left to work, tying a small piece of shrimp at the end and trying to entice them by lightly jerking at the string at periodic intervals. I also dosed the shrimp with garlic, and the little guys were attracted by the movements at first, but quickly lost interest when they realized that I was the one pulling the strings behind it (pun intended). Worried that their appetites might have been affected by the medication, I eventually gave up and threw in a few snails to feed them instead, and instantly, their appetites revived and they went after the food with gusto. I haven't fed them today yet, but they are taking turns swimming up to the glass to look at me expectantly, and I'm determined to fast them so that they will learn to take frozen feed instead. The next few days are likely to be as challenging for my self control as it will be for them in general; sorry, little fellas, but this is for your own good!
