okay my water is in great condition i checked every thing my PH is at a 7.5 to 8 but it is always balanced at that and has bin for about a year now. i had 3 days in my tank and they were doing great.2 motoro n 1 hystrix, for mnths they were doing great, about a week ago i sold my motoros and just have the one hystrix. she ate the days after i got rid of the other 2 motoro n now she hasnt eaten sints then. and she is getting skinny FAST...idk wtf is up but every fish in the tank is fine (discus, black aro, fire eel, they are all fine. n my flowerhorn on the divided side is fine to. like they are all healthy n doing great. any one know whats up wid her ? is she lonely ? i have tride nite crawlers with she used to love, shrimp and blood worms. also the last time she ate it was feeders but they were from a friends breeding tank of his own stock. they really werent ment for her to eat. but she ate one or two... please some one help.
 
Hi i think she is sulking, from watching mine over time they are very playful animals and they do bond and i have sold some in the past and had the same problem, but not for that long, but i never have had just one ray in the tank on its own.
 
yeah she just moves around once in a white n is breathing slower i feel ( maybe thats just me being paranoid), idk wtf to do really im worried. hopefully will pick up a flower this week or a marble motoro. idk tho i have to see.
 
okay i did a 50% water change 2 days ago and last nite i did another 50%, hope it helps but she still shows no interest in food.... she is how ever swimming around a little more... some one have any ideas ?
 
Ya I have moved rays before and when they are by themselves they don't eat as much. They will get used to being by themselves and start eating. I have thrown in some small fish to keep them curious which helps.
