I'm guessing that my rays have parasites they are getting thin even though they eat well. Should I treat w prazipro and if so what else. What amount per gallon is safe? Should I feed during this time?

Prazi pro is safe. I would just use it for now, just follow directions on bottle and yes feed as normal. How long have you had them, how big are they, and how much do you feed them?

Had them about 1.5 yrs 14 and 16 inch across feed 2-3 times a day

Has anything changed in their environment recently like new fish added or you feeding live to them? Not very common to see rays come down with parasites after being captive that long unless something changed to add stress. They show any external issues like disk edge eroding, white tip on tail, or redness on belly?

Prazi will only treat a few species of worms. Levamisole will treat all worm species, although not sure if it is ray safe.

No white tip no eroding, some redness around the mouth areas; I'm ashamed to say it but I fed live I caught at the river a few months back.
