all of the above but still eating occasionally and cant see worms at the anus, considering the shrimp what is the best med? (been told paragon by waterlife is good, after a 24hour treatment of epsom salts{by lfs}. Have emailed waterlife and they have said paragon is for external parasites, an to try Octozin though... very confused now)

I would get this med.
But you will have to buy a small issolation tank for the shrimp. You can get some good deals on small tanks.
