lah lah land.
Hello. I recently went on a business trip for 9 days and came back to a dirty tank. I didnt check the nitrate perams but I'm sure they were through the roof. My fiance did 1 25% water change when I was gone qwhen she was supposed to do two 50% ones. One ove my filters was clogged.
I fixed all this and did a 50% waterchange yesterday when I got home. I did anothetr this morning, my tank looks great and perameters are good.

I fed my Rays some earthworms and they gollbled them up as usual. Then when I checked on them later, my larger female had a lot of stringy poop hanging from her anus (still does) That it seems she cant get out. My smaller female is hiding. When I checked again later I found a bunch of half digested earthworms at the bottom of the tank. Vomit?

What do I do? Both rays are fat and look completely healthy other than the poop/vomit.
 
im betting your ph dropped while you were gone

keep up on the waterchanges...

ususally lifting the front of there disc IMO is from ph fluctuations.

You said that you had filters clogged, and you got that fixed, you did not overclean the filter did you? you could have lost some bacteria.
 
I didnt over clean the filter. My rays are acting more normal today. I'm about to do another water change. I wish I had tested the ph before I did the first change. I wanted to stop feedings but my larger female grabbed a feeder when I fed my bass. I've never seen her eat a feeder before.
 
It's been almost a week of stable ph. I didn't feed the rays for a few days. Now they're back to pigging out. My larger females poop is white now. Parasites?
