Any scavengers in the tank to eat the mussels? Hope they arent getting sucked up into your filter!

No i dont have any.. The leo will just eat them.. :) The tank is running with an am-top AM-TOP 3338 and one Eheim 2329 Wet/Dry.. But i dont think they have sucked anything up..

I have been feeding him mussels.. But I think I will stop with that now.. He chews em up into little pieces.. The water didn’t smell to good.. A bit like bad shellfish.. I think the mussels might have been the problem..

few big water changes will fix that....
 
Did so a few hours ago.. :) And he is looing much better alredy.. Think i will stick with prawns for now..

that might be a good idea ;)
 
Yea prawns are much better if your ray will take them, its pretty much the staple of my rays diet. Its not the cheapest, but cheaper than most other alternatives, and they can swallow them down and dont make that bad of a mess.
 
correct me if im wrong... but isnt the death curl more of an involintary movement, that doesnt look to involentary... he is prolly just moving around
 
i just had this problem and i found out they were breathing heavily because of the chlorine in my water.

do u use stress coat, de-chlor, or have a drip system?

No i dont.. We dont have much clorine in the water here in denmark.. And i changed the 5 days ago..
But we did find the problem.. Just bad water.. Though there were no ammonia or nitrite.. Smelled like bad shellfish.. A big 75% waterchange did the job.. :)
