Wow, I have found soooooo much helpfull information here! I have a 3 yr old motoro who has not be feeling well = ( He has a small dent between his eyes and @ first i thought he bumped into the heater, but im not sure? He's also starting to lose wight, still very active and enjoys feeding time but not able to actually eat??? If anyone has any ideas or sug please let me know thanks!
 
wrong forum.... mods will move to stingray forum... what do you feed this ray??? its very underweight if cave in between eyes... it needs food... maybe a nice heavy dose of prazi pro... get some earthworms or black worms in there... also what size is the ray?
 
pictures please???
 
Wow somethings going on ... if hes three years old and 10" in diameter . Mine is 6 months old and grew that big . I would try a round of prazi pro and lots of earthworms ... all he can eat . Mine started off the same way and thats what i tried now he is strong like the bull
 
Pictures would help. Could you also please share the tank size? tankmates? Water change schedule along with percentage changed? any newly introduced stock?

Not able to actually eat? Are you telling us that the ray just spits food out?
 
Sorry just did a 25% water change. tank is 80 gallons, 2 silver dollars and an african cich. have been with him for a long time, two months ago added a bala shark. it's strange he's so alert and active swims to surface, follows my hand around tank. excited for feeding time, attacks the worms and stays right by them, looks like hes trying to eat but can't/wont swallow them??????
 
what do you use for filtration?
