Clownfish worms

[BertieBones]

I think my clownfish has worms, she has long stringy poo and is not eating, I dosed fluke solve on Monday but she is no better,

Should she be better by now? When should I dose fluke solve again?

Are you soaking food in the medication or just dosing it in the water?

Just dosed it in the water as per instructions 1gram per 250 litres

Unfortunately dosing in the water will do little to nothing for internal parasites. External it works great, but in order to effectively treat internal, you have to soak their food in medication and then feed it to them.
I would recommend General cure and Seachem Focus. The general cure will kill the parasites and the Focus will bind the medication to the food so it doesn't simply leech out when it gets in the water.
