Wild caught fish typically don’t overeat like cb polys.

The pics looked fine. Didn’t look to skinny. I think it’s fine to do the parasite treatment.

It’s normal to have a bulge after eating and then it goes down. That’s normal for fish.

If you see worms treat. API general cure will not destroy your BB. I just treated my tank because of a teug i got in a trade i did not inspect and it had anchor worms. The general cure worked the same day.
