Teacup stingray questions

[tlindsey]

Hi! Thank you for the reply, the tank footprint is 4’x2’x2’. Sadly I am not able to upgrade at the moment however I would love to! As for water quality I am fully willing to do extra water changes, currently I am changing a 100 gallons a week on that tank, however at the moment that’s not really true. I haven’t felt well so they have been missing water changes but I tested yesterday and the water is ok (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 60 -80 nitrate), not the best but I plan to water change today, but that’s all besides the point. Do you have any advice to get them eating? Thank you!

Tbh I would pass on the Stingray just on the level of the Nitrate.

+1 nitrates are way too high

The reason nitrates are high is because I have been running a fever of 102 and haven’t done water changes in a little while. Normally they are much much lower (more like 0-10).

My nitrates usually run between 50 - 80ppm. Been like that for 6 years no issues. Rays are very dirty fish, hard to keep the nitrates down. Also I have Oscars with my rays and have not run into any major issues yet.
