HELP! Stingray signs of Death Curl

[Justin C - IronMan_Tesla]

Guys,

Need help, I moved my stingray 2 days ago to a new tank but it seems its showing symptoms of death curl.

as you can see in video,
heavy breathing
hasn't eaten for like 2 days.

Please help.

I'm not seeing death curl but yes very heavy breathing. Have you checked the water?

Has the ray been distressed for two days or only showing heavy breathing today? (aside from acclimation period) Death curl is when they can't keep their disk down when they try, usually results in a swift death. Did you mess with him today? My guess is that the move scared him and he still hasn't settled in, and that you are bothering him because you're worried. What was he eating before the move and what have you offered him since then?

how about the "new tank" is it fully cycled?
other fish in there?
well oxygenated?

-Keep the lights off and keep testing your water for ammonia, nitrite,nitrate

Looks like lack of oxygen to me, get more aeration in the tank.

Death curl??? Where? I have to agree with Jim here..

Doesnt look great, what are the water params?

 

[millerkid519]

I agree with Jim aswell. What do you have in your tank for aeration. I have noticed you need a decent size air pump for water movement in a ray tank

Death curl is unmistakable, that is not death curl. If a ray is stressed for a couple of days and acts wields and doesn't eat, no problem, reduce stress and wait for it to come around. Any longer than a couple days, you have a problem you need to troubleshoot. Start by posting details about your filtration and your water parameters, both current and usual.

Did everybody miss the huge dent in the forehead,bad coloration and the hip bones protruding? This ray is in bad health and you have lots of work ahead to turn it's health around.
