Just got a new Motoro female today and seems to be some wierd stuff hanging out her ass. Parasitic worms??

jim barry jim barry new ray your suggestions for treatment.
 
It isn't the parasite itself, but clear stool is an indication of a tapeworm. I would suggest praziquantel or prazi-pro. But wait to see what others got to say first
 
Are you feeding the ray worms ?
My rays have always had poops like this after changing foods sometimes earthworms sometimes shrimp sometimes stress. I'd not worry if it eats let it eat leave it alone for a bit.

Just got it yesterday but I think the seller was feeding it worms. I just put her in yesterday and shut the lights. I'll see today if she wants some food. Thanks guys.
 
Looks like the kind of poop fish with parasites have, I'd treat with prazi pro
Good luck
