You need to explain more. When you say parasites, do you mean gill flukes or what?

 

[tbone2640]

Its not gill flukes. He still eats very good but one in a while ill c him turn his head and scratch on his side.

Scratching on the substrate can be a sign of parasites, but does not always guarantee that they have parasites. While not a necessarily a good sign, "once in a while" may not be a problem.
Are there any red lesions on the shark? Visible bugs/critters hanging from it? How often does the shark do this?

 

[tbone2640]

Myb a couple times a day. He has no external parasites r red marks on her.

Wobbies like to hide and ambush their prey. Soft substrate is a must with these animals some bury themselves. Pick up a copy of Aquarium sharks and rays this book has info on different treatments for sharks.

Do you see anything on it's eyes? Check to see if you see any sections that are even slightly cloudy.
