I got a 2 week old leo that has not been eatting. I try giving it chop worm, blackworms and shrimp but nothing. Current temp is 90. Ph is 6.7 can someone give me some advice, Thanx in advice. :)
 
90???? Why is your temp 90? is they ray breathing heavy??

Turn your thermometer down. Keep your temp at around 80. Make sure you have surface agitation!
 
Was told to do so, never kept pup this small before :) Can someone to give me an idea what ya'll do? Temp, feeding, lighting, and all the goody :)

start with reading the stickies in the ray forum...

Temp 76-82, feed earthworms cut real small for now. Then try other foods once he is established.

Make sure and keep up on waterchanges
 
whts the porpose of the high temp? just increased metabolism?

ive never had an issue raising pups in 80 degee water

i would just keep the lights off for a few days and dont do any drastic waterchanges. ive noticed my pups dont eat as much w large waterchanges...
