Hi There.
She is a 19" ray in a 35" x 69" tank that is 19" deep. Glass bottom, 50% water change weekly, We have an additional 10"side sump and three large canister filters, the newest is the fluval FX6. We have had her for around 5 months.
I am at wits end as she will just not eat. Massivore, shrimp, mussle meat, calimari, fillet have all been gobbled up in the past. It has been a problem now going into THE FOURTH WEEK. I place the food under her disc with an extended arm now.
I have sole the male that was with her and he was fine. She shares the tank with an 11" barrimundi alone and he is a pig.
8 weeks ago she caught and injured one of the 6 silver dollars that was with her but they are all gone.
I have noticed that now my focus has been towards tingling leakage voltages in the water when my finger tips go into the tank, but only where my finger was cut. I am down under in Australia and we use a deadly 240vac which has leakage protection. I have measured the tank water to ground at 80VAC which comes from all the pumps combined. Disconnecting each pump one at a time drops only a small voltage from the tank. As I am now clutching at straws, is it common for filter pumps to leak voltages into the tank and could this upset a previously healthy ray, stopping her from eating.
Am i on to something?
Thanks in advance
