Looking for some help on my sick ray

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
L LNIA13 , Right away I noticed three things, Eye sunken, forehead sunken (not from eating issue (looks very different) and also the lip is a touch bat, meaning overall its a number of development / birth defects.
Honestly if it's eating and doing ok, let it be and let it grow and see what happens, its a bit more of a risky ray to own and grow out but hey its a good looking ray and hopefully it does really well. Just never know when taking a risk on a ray in that sorta shape. Treating issues that are not there is, well pointless at this point. Wait and see if something actually shows from poop or lack of eating or skin issues and then treat as needed.
I did end up treating just to be safe figured it wouldn't hurt him. And also he has made a major turn around on the dent it's been just under a week and the dent looks way better! Still not gone but it's going away!

Glad you did something.....

Sitting there doing nothing, waiting for the dent to magically go away buys your ray a 1 way ticket to the freezer.
 
I realized ive been dosing it with carbon in my filter. totally forgot about it. had to put carbon because of nitro furan nuking a few weeks ago. Just dosed it without the carbon. hopefully when i get back home i'll get good results.
