Any raykeepers worst nightmare..... A ray that won't touch food. Not even blackworms that were in her tank for 2 weeks.

IF I remeber correctly this pic is about a month without eating.
 
Oh! The poor thing!! Is she yours/a friend's or did you find this online? If one of the former, is she still alive or did she starve herself to death?

What is the hole anyway??
 
I have seen a dent like that before on a ray that did not eat for a month. Not a good feeling. Then one day I put some live ghost shrimp in and it ate like it was starving. Dent went away in about 2 weeks.
 
that sucks, hope it will start eating soon for you.


and db every time i see that moray i kick myself. damn nice fish!
 
Yes, she is my ray.

Was likely brought on by a number of things including the obvious disk damage from her male companion. He damaged the end of her tail so bad the tip actually came off. She had bone sticking out. This is about the time she quit eating. After a week she was put into isolation where we've been watching her ignore everything we've tried for 4+ weeks now. Live blackworms, chopped crawlers, shrimp, scallops, fish, ghost shrimp, feeder fish, and even as a last resort wild caught baby crayfish.

Sbuse- Thanks. I love my Morays. Soooooo trouble free and easy to care for compared to rays. IF I would have sold them off I would have given up on rays a long time ago. Whenever I feel like a failure with the rays I just go feed the eels and they cheer me up. It's just too bad the crazy ones aren't available without pawning organs......

so i guess me not having funds at that time turned out to be good for your long term fish keeping. there are alot of nice eels out there. i may need to get some eels then, i have been having a rollercoster of a year again.
 
I know ur fish doesn't have parasites but it may shock he to eat. Do a 60 percent w/c and Add a double dose of praZi. I had a ray in a com tank that got stressed and would not eat for a while I added a double dose of praZi as a last resort ad it worked.
