I treated the whole tank on Saturday night with fluke solve and It done the trick.The female started eating again this morning she has a long way to go to get back to her old self but it's a start. Thanks everyone for your input much appreciated.

Pleased to hear it!

Treat 2 more times 7 days apart to make sure the life cycle of the fluke is extinguished, this is important to to stop a further outbreak.
Your ray should make a full recovery now and will soon gain the weight lost during this difficult time.

Fluke solve is a very safe treatment to use, it can even be overdosed without ill effect so adding it again to your tank will not have any negative effects, so don't be frightened to use it for the second and third time.
I would change a third of the aquarium water the day before each treatment.

Great news that this worked out for you northrebel. Nothing more worrying than a sick ray, it leaves you feeling very helpless.

What brand of flukesolve did you use? I looked on the net and there seems to be a fair few different types. I would like to get some just so i have it to hand in case i ever need it.
Thanks

Thanks a lot this ray means a lot to me as she is part of the original group I purchased. She has a long way to go before she's back to her beautiful self.
