Here you go Miles....I hope I am doing it right....In the last pic, that ray seems to be acting funny as of late. He always buried himself in the sand at first. The other two would swim, and he ALWAYS stayed buried. Now he kind of sulks in the corner. The are all eating. I can tell because they poop all day....If they look terrible, you can have them back. I do not want these guys to die....I have no clue if I am doing it right. I am changing about 20% of the water everyday. Each change, I do a full gravel vac, and the sand is perfectly clean. I hope they look OK to you...

There are three of them in a 75.....They are poop machines...I think I have had them for two weeks now? The water most certainly needs to be changed so much. And unlike most fish, these guys seem to be 1,000% more active, immediately following a water change.
 
ok keep the light off in the tank for a while to give them a chance to get use to the new tank, you also should look into getting a bigger tank because a 75 is to small for one let alone 3
 
Look how big they are..... At least the tank is 5-6 TIMES wider than the rays.....which is more than A LOT of the raykeepers on this site can say.......

didnt realise that spizz sorry.
 
I wouldn't disturb the gravel as often, but keep up the water changes, actually I'd increase from 20% up to 40%.
 
They look good big! No veins, no pelvic bones, and eating!!!

Just keep up on the water changes! I also noticed that my rays are more active after a water change as well....
