I have an antenna ray that at one point was starting to curl. I baby sat him all day and did small water changes with warm water, and added salt.. He was battling a tail fungus, and was pretty stressed right after he came in. During that day I was babysitting him, I went home and grabbed a huge dark blanket, and covered up his entire tank. He pulled out of it, and now he is a champ!
The loss of any animal is sad. What exactly is happening to the ray at the point when they start to curl? I don't know much about them.
From what ive read ,the infamous death curl is a sign that a ray has lost control of its neural functions ( like having an epileptic seizure ) and thats why the disc floats upwards. Ive heard anectodal evidence that rays have pulled out of a death curl but no documented one yet.
imagine there are muscles that hold the disk edges down, these same muscles control movement
they loose control and WONT move
they loose control and WONT move
