Help - retic has worms

[Jez1992]

Hi all from UK.

My retic has worms I believe from doing a lot of research on here. All params fine just need to know following?

I hear fluke-solve is the best treatment, however I have called everywhere and No one has it. Can buy on amazon and get tomorrow, but will it be too late?

A LFS near has jBL Gyrodol and esha gdex, both active ingredients are praziquantel, but No one on here mentions them and they are liquid based.

Should I order and get fluke-solve or risk other stuff, will my ray be okay to wait til tomorrow?

Will attach a pic, still eating lots but really skinny now

Doesn't look skinny to me.

Why do you think it has worms?

It's very lethargic, not acting itself and has really shrunken down on body. Tail still far but around ribs and gear really pronounced whereas a week ago was smooth and thick

Thanks tho stopped me worrying about,

You could try prazipro, aquaman offered some other advice here for fluke solve http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/posts/7395830/

Is this the ray you are trying to get to eat pellets? Have you been withholding food from her?

I was a few weeks ago, but for last two weeks stopped and she's been eating prawns and fish fine.

I have ordered fluke-solve so should come tomorrow so will treat them to be safe.

I'm right in thinking it doesn't harm non infected fish aren't I?
