"6 weeks" i think you are lucky you didnt kill your rays
My prazi schedule is start light for the first week, do full treatment for 3-4 then weened them off for the last week.
I have NEVER heard prazi overdosed any fish. The thing that confused me is that there are two rays in this story, but the henlei is the one that's having a hard time gaining weight. The henlei and marble came from the same tank, QT'ed in the same tank, and moved to the main tank at the same time. The marble put on weight just fine.
I have been feeding the henlei 6-7 shrimp in the morning and as much as nightcrawlers he'll take at night (8-10 a night) and the pelvic bones are SLOWLY dissapearing.
The appetite remains the same and always the same since day one. It'd be different if I have to shove food down his mouth..
Overall, so far so good..water are always pristine (drip system)
Thanks guys..
