I meant don't bury him until/if he dies. If he is actually burying his nose in a sifting manner then he is interested in eating, which is a good sign. Now you just have to get him to actually eat.
Took me almost three weeks to get my female flower to eat, and once I did she went from black worms to trout worms in 5 days. Perseverance my friend.;)
Cant wait, Thank You

You said you're going out back to start digging a hole. Shadow says dont dig yet.
I was joking:D. Dont have to because I know he will start eating soon:headbang2

Just keep the water clean and offer different foods until he eats. If you can get blackworms then try them. Ghost shrimp love black worms. If you had both in there then the ghost shrimp will stay on the bottom to eat and the ray can sample both.
I actually started this yesterday. First was the Bloodworms and earthworms, then was the Ghost Shrimp. All 3 where in the tank yesterday and today there is just Ghost Shrimp (will be adding more after this). I am assuming the Hystrix ate the worms and hope the Flower ate some of the missing GS or worms.

Thanks everyone for the help, it is greatly appreciated

Will be dosing 1 Teaspoon per 10gl of water with daily 50% water changes and adding Metro+ to the amount of water in the tank.

How long should I do this for? 2 weeks daily?

I treated for 9 days with the Metro and she started eating on the 7th-8th day. Was told to do 7-10 days.
