I just finished putting up the cover for the heater and doing 30% water change
I think maybe she got burned by the heater. Thank you for helping out i will post some pictures when she gets better
Very possible. I'm sure she'll be fine if you stay on top of everything....and it looks like you are
You where right it was a heater burn. Shes doing well now and switched over to raw fish and shrimp. If anyone has something similar and are new to the hobby these pictures should assure you that you need the heater covers before you put the fish in the tank. I waited two days before buying the cover and learned the hard way that rays skin is very sensitive. I was worried at fist but after doing 20% water changes for a few days and her appetite hasn't gone down instead shes been eating more everyday I don't think theres anything to worry about.i consider myself lucky plenty of other people have had there ray get infected and die due to burns from the heater.
That's great to hear! The worst part besides they have sensitive skin is that they don't seem to be able to feel or recognize heat as a danger. So they will rest against a heater and let it burn them badly
Just wanted to post an update picture. She is almost 100% healed from the heater burn.
