you dont need to worm every month, every 6 months will be plenty i use wormrid (prazi) and big L for fluke i use a potasium permangenate dip.
try leaving the light off when you feed to make the fish more comfortable.

Joe,
4 weeks without eating?
How much condition left?
Is it a fish that can display dark bars?
How is the colour?
Swimming normally or just sitting on the bottom?
What are you feeding them?
Water quality? Temp?
I'm better with questions than with answers,
but there are some great minds here.
