Matt this treatment is highly toxic to freshwater Stingrays, this is because it contains Flubendazol, many a ray has died very quickly after using it, its fine with 90% of fish but its an absolute no no with rays.
You are going to have to do big water changes over the next few days to have any chance of reversing the damage.
If you are treating for flukes then you need a treatment called Fluke solve, this contains Praziquantel, (Stingray friendly), used it many times, its known world wide as simply Prazi.
You will have to hope they pull through from this first treatment before adding the next one.
Good luck.
 
Last year I almost killed a very nice ray with kusuri


That company is a bunch of morons. On the package it says safe for rays but flubendazole will pretty much melt your rays skin. I did a treatment a day later the rays spots had turned bone white and were starting to shift. She was dying I noticed change in her behavior and did. 60% water change added carbon and about 2 weeks later she recovered and her spots stayed bone white ever since? But I did learn that flubendazole will wipe out all parasites flukes ect in less than half the time prazi will and with just one treatment.
 
This treatment works amazing on feeders if your worried about parasites. 3day treatment .
I used it on my cichlids also for worms and it fixed em that tanks been very healthy since .
