I believe one of my fish or rays may have an internal parasite. I do not know who but, this morning I saw a long stringy, white/ clear poop floating in the tank. I have a silver arowana, 2 peacock bass and three motoro stingrays. I have never fed them live while they have been under my care the exception of earthworms when I first obtained the rays. they are currently eating frozen shrimp and tilapia. what would be my best course of treatment? thanks.
 
How big are they? How long have you had them?
I recommend prazi pro. Works well and its not too strong for rays. Motoros are real hearty so they can defenitely handle a little prazi pro.
If you have a carbon in your filters, take that out while you medicate.
Good luck
 
two are about 8 inch or so and the other is about 12 in, I've had the smaller rays since last fall and the larger ray for a couple months now, the arowana and one of the bass have been in their since the start. I'm assuming its from the new peacock bass I've had for a little over a month, but I have no proof seeing I didn't see who took the poop. I will definitely treat the whole tank with prazi pro to be safe. thanks
