I have a breeding clownfish that is starting to look too thin. She also has not laid a nest in over a month. She is housed with my other breeding pairs in the breeding rack. She eats often however she is losing weight.

I’m thinking an internal parasite or a worm. What do the experts think?

Have you ever seen any white stringy poop? Typically if there were intestinal worms or parasites present you would see white stringy poop.

I have not. Some of the pairs have poop that is sometimes longer than usual. About 1/2 to an inch but i thought that was due to snacking on some of the algae on the glass. It’s always dark.
 
I think I’ll hit the whole rack with Prazipro. Any danger to medicating the whole thing? I only have clownfish in it. No inverts, no coral.
