I wish I knew a site but I don't. Things too look for:
no appetite
skinniness = hip bones evident, divet (sp?) between eyes, ribs showing, tail noticeably thin
They can't get ick
External fungal and bacterial infections are obvious = skin sloughing, cottony growths, etc.
Watch for discoloration in the disc rim
Watch for curling of the disc at its rim
watch for really heavy breathing


They demand high water quality. The first signs of stress you should test ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH (for extremes)

If the owner of that website would get off his lazy arse and write some more.. I know he has lots of good pictures of other ray injuries and/or complications!
