My guy is still not eating. It has been just shy of 2 1/2 weeks. He ate the first day and thats it. He swims looking for food and digs his mouth to the sand but no chewing.
My Temp is at a constant 82* and have been doing daily 50% water changes with full tank dosage of Metro+ and Prime Conditioner.
There is constant food in the tank, Bloodworms, Ghost shrimp and about 8 feeders just under 1".
I hope he starts eating something very soon.
Good Luck to you my friend and keep the updates coming. I have not updated as there is nothing to update
Great news! Seen the longest piece of brown crap in my tank. That means he is eating. I also just seen him take down 2 minnows aggressively
Time to beef him up and then get him on to prepared foods
In my hands he has starved for 2 weeks and 1 day. Prime/Metro+ for 7 of those days daily with 50% water changes and constand food in medium portions did it for me. Also lights have been off the entire time I started Metro+ to lower the stress level of movement outside of the tank
Yipee!

These are great news ! ! ! !
I am very happy for you - seems you made it, I know it's a great feeling.
Let's see what is happening to mine - they are still in the same condition.
One question: when did the white poop stopped? 4 days after treatement I still see the white poop (a little bit yellowish now), and under microscope I saw living organisms.
Thank you for the update, and good luck going forward.

Sorry, I have been extremely busy. Not much to update. Last I heard is he is eating here and there. He will poop every 2 days or so. This leads me to believe he is not eating daily. I do fly home tonight and will have a visual update when I see him in person.

Thank you for the update. The fact he is eating is encouraging. I wish I could say the same. Mine look the same as before, they are burried most of the time. The male sarted loosing disk color in several spots - not good.

I tried Ghost Shrimp and Black Worms for a long time. About a week ago I started seeing shells of the Ghost Shrimp and the numbers droping. Also seen his appetite pick up on BlackWorms.
I will try to make this quick as i have to catch my plane home. The best part of the story is yesterday he finally started eating whole Earthworms and chopped Nightcrawlers. I am so happy, I was almost sure I would loose him.
Sorry I took so long to respond to my own thread, been busy.
Quick question, I noticed a few threads about Sting Ray Feces.
What does Healthy Feces look like? Dark Brown/Black and in a spiral shape or like a curly fry? That is what my Flower Rays stool looks like at the moment
