My one female leo is separated atm because she is being bullied by my male. Recently I added another mag1800 pump to my system after re-doing the plumbing. For about a week now I have caught her on occasion doing this:
Normally I'd dismiss this as the ray having fun, if it weren't for the fact that it stays like that for long periods of time (5-10 mins?) After it comes down it seems like her disc is irritating her, she is curling the back of it and almost curling all of it at times, not continuously and definitely 100% not the death curl, it settles down fine and then starts again. Best way I can describe it is that she doesn't keep it steady in one spot, always fluttering. I kind of equate it to when I bought my male ray and introduced it to my tank (which I regularly add aquarium salt to) when he came from a tank with an autodrip system and no salt or conditioner, he was visibly irritated with the water, but it settled after a half hour. I could be making too much of this, she eats like a pig, never leaves a spec, and is quite active, but just want to triple check. Other rays completely fine. I recently re-did the plumbing of my overflows, wondering if some of the caulking could have gotten in the water and she is just particularly sensitive. SHould mention that this is the output pump from my sump and I have it half way in and out of the water which is why it draws in air and spits out bubbles, I like the oxygenation, however maybe shes craving more for whatever reason? Or maybe it gets her high and she's addicted LOL
