THANKS for the tip, the only other tank mates are 4 spotted gar and one African pike. The pike is horrified of these huge black things, and the gar wouldn't even eat a feeder fish... Literally. Only massivore. What I can't tell is if it was irritation from sand that messed up the slime coat? Is it from different water? Is it a fungal infection from stress? Is it bacterial?

shedding excess slime? after a very stressful perdicament some fish will over produce slime in preparation for worse conditions

That's what I'm trying to figure out so i can save my female. I can tell you it came off easy, I can use my big magfloat near her and move the water enough to knock it off her back

Do a water change,
Avoid using to fine of a sand cuz it irritates the ray and your ph n gh level can never be stabilize. 3m quartz sand if possible.
use power pump to simulate under water current. it helps to clear whatever **** stuck in it gills.
Lastly dip in fish herb medication for healing..

Make sure the ph n gh level is stable at all time. very important.
