Whats your temp and water conditions, PH etc? Could add some aquarium salt and get temp to 84-86. I always add salt when I have problems, Recently my pearl rays stopped eating for a long time and I added some salt to my system and they started eating great within 24hrs. 3 lbs per 100 gallons you can use kosher salt add half the amount and 24 hrs later add rest.
i have added a little bitt of salt about 2 or 3 days ago but not nearly the amount you said. The female isnt very active at all when im around. I have no clue what is wrong with them, they have been with me for over a year and this is the first time they havnt eaten most of their food.
mmm Whenever my retics don't take all their food I just quit feeding them for 3-4 days.. I also hold off feeding for a few days every time I transfer them or something like that.. (for bioload reasons too, etc)
It seems like they aren't heavy eaters like Motoros.. I've really slowed down feeding on my larger 3. I just make sure their disc and tail are thick..

Ya she seems stressed and the tank is divided so that the motoro cannot get to her. Im going to do a big w/c today and add somemore salt. shes been in the same place for a while now, wich suck 
. The good thing is that she is nice and fat so hopefully shell full through this.

The good thing is that she is nice and fat so hopefully shell full through this.could it be that i dont have enough oxygen going into the divided part of the tank. i have a filter there but it doesnt really make any bubbled or anything. so im thinking that might be a problem. So after i do my w/c im going to go to the lfs i work at and get some air stones and tubbing and sett up like 3 air hoses for oxygen.
