I got a 6-7inch Pearl ray about 3 days now. Everything is 0 In the water. Nitrate 20-40ppm. Temp is around 84
He is in a 400 alone he seems fine but the problem is that he stayed in one corner all the time and swims around maybe only once a day and then back to the corner. I try feeding him some shrimp. He does react to it but doesn’t eat. Once I drop it in. He comes after it. But swims away after tasting it. I have use garlic guard to enhancer the flavor but doesn’t seem to work. I have also try white fish filet, any idea? Thanks

Dose some prazipro and try live earthworms or live black worms. Keep nitrates below 20ppm.

What was this ray eating before you bought it? As above, try worms. It may need a few days to settle in as well.
