I have something nasty going on with my rays. Went on vacation for a week and come home to a tank that doesn't want to eat.
My juvie tank had Discus added to it about a month ago. 2 Discus looked crappy when I got them but was told they were just stressed from tankmates (reason the guy was selling) 2 of the 6 Discus died while I was gone. 2 rays were added to the tank also while I was gone. Was told they had been in possesion of the guy I got them from for 3 months. The 2 newbies showed up in mid 60 degree water. The smaller passed within 24 hours. The other didn't eat for several days then about day 3 it began eating. Roughly about the same time the other rays in the tank quit eating.
I get home and move the Pearl as he had been trying to breed with the now not eating lady Marbles. I treated with some Prazi. Pearl went in the 750 and he seems still to this day unaffected.
3 days go by the rays worsen. I tore the entire wet/dry apart and cleaned then supplemented bio from my 750. Rays seemed to stop declining but not improving. My prized CB lil male passes. a few days later my prized female begins eating worms again but the light base lady hasn't eaten in probobly a week. This whole time the new addition has been eating as if she's unaffected. I fear I may be running out of time witht he light base one.
I've seen this crap before as I believe it took "Zero". Symptoms- no appetite, labored breathing, listlessness, and discoloration. Forehead dents. I've never had any luck with Prazi, Parasite clear or anything of that nature.
Now I have 3 females in my 750 that aren't eating.
Here's a vid of the juvie tank.
