I used anchors away and it worked real good. I have never heard of the botias being predators of the lice but if so that is pretty neat.

I got in a large Goldy Pleco about 14 incher with fish lice. I had to pick each one off, about 30-35 of them, a freakin pain. A pair of tweezers did the job, and the pleco was very steady so that helped. With a ray though, it might be hard to pull off this procedure.

Yes. Not much gets past them, even lice. I add them to my ray tanks upon recieving new rays, it usually takes about a couple of days. I would imagine if they are in the tank, they will find them.

u can't pull them off the inderside of the ray or this would work i have also heard of useing turkey baster to suck them off

I picked them off my motoro right before she died....., it seemed like it was working for a while..., but some just kept showing up. I believe that these lice get into there gillsand inside the passage ways..., so you can never get rid of them by just picking at them... I think that the way that these thing can eventually kill them is becasue they get inside them... at least thats how it seemed for me....
