How did you acclimate her to the tank? Drip or ?

Sudden changes to different water paramters can cause stress (breeders and your tank), and a drip method to acclimatize normally does the trick (this is what I do).

Do daily water changes and add a bit of epsom salt (my personal experience with salt and rays has always been good). Probably should turn off the wave maker as well

I had her in the bag for 30 minutes floating, opened the back and added a table spoon of tank water every 1 min for the next 15 min then released her in the tank, for the first 2 days there were no signs of the peeling white skin, this just started today when i got home from work i noticed it.

ive been observing the tank for the past 6 hours and noone really bothers her. I'm actually noticing a light cloudy look in her eyes, been looking all over the place to see what in the world is going on, you guys thing my tank might be too acidic for her? also whats the best fastest solution for this
 
Salt at the recommended dosage is ray safe. I use salt before thinking of using any sorts of meds

Stress is the obvious culprit and trying to relieve her of stress should be the main focus. If I were in this position I would perform daily water changes, add some salt, up the temp and turn off the wave makers. Hopefully it's not too late
 
just did a water change today, didn't add any salt this time. ill add some right now, she really has rejected every sort of food ive tried giving her, she looks stressed, she sits in one spot almost all day then at random times she just cruses the tank surface for a good 5 min then goes back to the same spot she was ( next to my dabola bichir ) who doesn't mind her company.

She is super stressed...
 
Ok, don't forget to off your wave makers. She's probably not use to the strong current. Cloudy eyes and edge peeling are signs of stress due to the obvious reasons. Up the temp also. Keep us update
