well so recently i had ich in my tank so i started to treat it.
i put in about 200 teasppons of salt into a 100 gallon.
raise the temp to about 88.
then i saw the tempature kept on rising so i lowered it back to 85.
so now heres my dillemma my motoro isnt eating...
whats the problem?
and best way to solve it?
is it the salt?
the ich
or the temp changes
the tail has gotten really skinny cuz it hasnt eaten for about 3-4 days now.
any quick solution?
 
You need to get things back under control, way too much salt. Keep the lights out, 86 degrees only add salt one time at a rate of 1 tablesppon per 10 gallons or so. Only add salt one time, it does not come back out untill you do a water change, keep the water changes small and more frequent, big water changes will stress the ray out even more.
Keep things calm and consistant and warm. No major changes and feed live blackworms. Any other fish in the tank? if so remove the other fish, NOT the ray that is having problems, dont move the ray this will pop it off, just remove the other fish.
HTH !
