She's new to me. Captive bred, 2 years old last week.
I picked her up from another Marble conesure yesterday. She was in transit in a cooler from 10 AM till about 6 PM.
Now when I was dumping her water out before dripping she got flipped over. I flipped her back over bare handed, not saying it wasn't there, it could have been, BUT I know it wasn't red like this. I would have saw it. The previous owner said he knows this wasn't there when he netted her.
Shadow, it's possible, but I've used this cooler several times in the past without issue, although there was some sand in there....
Her flipper wounds seem the worst, so I'm hoping this just means rubbed raw, or abrasions.
I'm not sure I know what Ammo burn looks like. Are we thinking more towards abrasions, or could it be ammo burn?
Not sure what to do in terms of care. There is some sand in with her now. I could remove it so she isn't further irritated. It's just her, my nether female (an inch smaller), a trio of Balas and some smallish Odoe in a 125 gallon tank on 270 gallon system. 3 other rays on this system in a 125, all 3 7-8" a Fluval 405, pot scrubbie filled wet/dry with 2K gph worth of return pumps and 4 AC 110s all for these lil guys.
I feel friggin horrible. I felt after getting my firstborn CB pup back that I knew how much they could mean to us and that is the only reason she's here, I told the guy I got her from that I know what 1st borns mean, and I'd care for her like I care for my own, I'd keep them together, and they'd never be re homed, they'd never be subjected to larger hungrier rays or cramped in lil tanks and here I am 24 hours later asking advice on how to care for her and showing off wounds. Talk about feeling like crap......
