Occy Clown Pair Not Eating.

I have a wonderful Occy clown pair that's been with me for half a month. They were very active, eating well and swimming all over my 30G.

 

However, in the last 5 days or so, the female stopped eating and now the male has stopped eating completely as well. Neither fish shows interest in food, and they're constantly hovering near my sandbed with their dorsal fins clamped. The female finally pooped yesterday and it was stringy and white.

 

My guess is that it's definitely some sort of internal parasite - but problem is, Prazipro is now a banned substance where I come from. My next best bet would be to crush 1/8 of a Praziquantel pill and dilute it as I set up a hospital tank for both clowns. Is this option alright?

 

Also, how do I get them to eat again? I tried putting some garlic juice with their pellets but it's not working. Frozen food is being ignored as well. Any advice?
