Active and ravenous but thin with long stringy poop

It's almost another week and not a great deal has changed. The rainbowfish in question remains ravenous all the time. As I mentioned last week I switched to a spirulina-based flake food and I've now added a slow sinking small pellet food (Red Sea Bug Bites) which all the fish appear to like a lot more than the flakes.

The stringy poo issue hasn't improved at all. I've now done four weekly doses of flubendazole - is that enough?

The tremendous amount of food this fish consumes (it's scoffing it all long after the rest have had enough) seems to be going straight through. He's perhaps not as worryingly thin as he was but he's still noticeably thinner than the others, but otherwise very active and involved.

yes.

Just keep feeding it 3-5 times a day and do regular water changes. Add raw or cooked prawn, marine mix, marine green, brineshrimp, etc.
