Was reading Brents thread on stingrays twitching and being caused by bacteria. I just wanted to confirm with Mike and anyone else who knows if this is the signs.

^^^^^ I also see no reason wrong with them at all...mine old pair of retics use to do that too but they were feeding and acting normal...maybe it's just a ray thing. :D

Water parameters? Temp? Any new fish or anything new to the tank?

All things are fine in the tank except they are new arrivals. They were fine the first couple weeks but in the last couple weeks seem to be developing a disk rot looking thing

What was your treatment for it? Did your rays continue to eat during the treatment. I have one skinny ray with my new ones and is not eating properly yet, so I'm a little worried. Did yur ray heal properly or did it leave marks. Thanks for the nice ray comment, hopefully it stays that way

You better believe you have the same problem as Brent for sure, raise temp to 90 add 4 lbs per 100 gallons three days after get temp up and add binox of you can get it. Ow yeah most import part REMOVE ALL YOUR SUBSTRATE ASAP as the bacteria lives in there and will not go away until it's removed.
