Even so I will be doing everything I can to get it back to health, it dont look that bad yet, she can still manipulate her disc a little bit, as in it dont stay curled or is curled very much, ti sometimes flatten out on one side for a small while.

I Have another tank that I am preparing to move her to if she survive but dont eat after this round of treatment.

Moving her now will likely be too much on her and do her in. You stand a better chance removing others or leaving her sectioned off.

Keep an eye on your pH levels with all of these water changes. High nitrates (DOC’s) soften water quickly and large water changes cause pH swings which rays are significantly more sensative too if already stressed. Rays don’t curl from internal parasites unless they are extremely skinny. The loose skin/potential disc rot infers it’s likely the water quality more so than the IP’s. The combo makes it hard on her to recover.

Great attitude, keep after trying to save her. That’s awesome to see someone give it all they’ve got.

To be honest I wouldn't move her. Separate with a divider from the others, but if you move her you will just stress her out further.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the advice guys, unfortunately she didn't survive last night. She was just too weak by the time I noticedeeally blaming myself here that I should've seen the signs of internal parasite sooner but alas I did not have prior experience with internal parasite before, only ich.

For now I'm keeping my tank on prazi and I'm looking at other things I need to do to keep my remaining

Really blaming myself here that I should've seen the signs of internal parasite sooner but I did not have prior experience with internal parasite before, only ich.

For now I'm keeping my tank on prazi and I'm looking at other things I need to do to keep my remaining stock healthy and happy.

Any other trearment would you guys recommend as a preventive measure for non obvious things that might be wrong?
 
Damn, that sucks man, sorry about that. If there's internal parasites you could feed them gel food with Epsom Salt (which acts as a laxative, I've used it before with my one pleco), aside from that I really can't think of anything else.
