Most wholesalers don't care about the fish they carry. They only want to keep them alive long enough to push them off onto someone else. I went to a wholesaler earlier this year and they had some really nice rays and some really bad rays. None even close to what you found. Your biggest challenge will be to get them to eat, if you can do that then they will probably live. When we got our flower in I got a motoro with it. They were in nasty shape with ammonia burns and lice. You could see all there bones. I threw ghost shimp in the tank and both of them ate the first day I got them. I couldn't believe it. Good luck to you both. I would definetly call the BBB of that area

You've done a great thing by saving those rays from the store. I hope they heal up soon. But now that they have made a little profit off those rays they will might get some more. I wonder is there anybody that you can report them to?????

Well Good luck with those rays and keep us udated with some pics!!!!

wow, you did a really nice thing trying to save those rays. Good luck with it and I hope they all pull through.

A few months back one of my rays had a cut on his forehead(never found out if it was from the heater or from him trying to jump out of the tank and slamming into the cover)-the cut was not nearly as severe as these rays are but I added extra prime to the water and in a few days it started scabbing over, then the scab fell off and now it just looks like a lighter patch of skin between his eyes. Have you been adding and prime to the water? salt? Good luck with them
