So I've been lurking for quite awhile and have been reading the stickies and other threads about rays. I made the plunge and ordered some hystrix. After acclimating them for an hour, I netted the first female and put her into the qt tank.
Her stinger got caught in the net and I had to cut the net to free her (piece of net is still stuck on her stinger). I put her in the tank and she looked normal. I covered the tank and left it completely dark. Came to check on her 1 hour later and noticed her front disc curling. Its been 6 hrs now and her front disc is still curled up.
I've been searching through the threads and read that death curl usually starts at the back of the disc.
I added dissolved aquarium salt in a couple hours ago. Im hoping that will help.
Is the hystrix in the pic showing signs of curling????
