Well put!!!!!franchise513;3511995; said:Holy **** everybody quit your bickering and give this guy the info he wants/needs. Sbroadacz, a 125g will not last you very long at all with a ray. Might I recommend thinking about getting a 180g? It will last you longer than a 125 and it's alot more water. And please sir everyone is trying to help you with this don't argue back
sbrodacz;3512254; said:When you say quarn and treat, how long does something like that take? You can just do that in the regular tank as he/she would be the only one in the take for a little while.
2 weeks minimum. But you are right Chrom. Make sure he is eating properly also check the spiracles to make sure there are no problems, remember this is only if it is wc, if it is cb captive bred the work should be done for you and there should be no issues. Also, Quarantine should be done in another tank the reason because some meds kill bb and your back to square 1, they can change your water chemistry and screw up everything, unfortunately I know this from dead fish and aggravation. Prazipro is not the be all end all either depending on whats going on you may need to treat with somethimg else.Chromobotia;3512308; said:I'm not an expert on Sting Rays but I would think you would want to Quarentin the ray for 2 weeks to make sure that it is healthy and eating properly. I'm not sure how long the meds should be used for. There may be a sticky for that.
1 thing you can notice for parasites is feces, if it is black ray is fine if it is stringy and white or off white you got a problem.sbrodacz;3512356; said:Makes sense. I'll ask. I'm going there this Thursday or Friday to check the ray out. If it was wc I'll ask if they can do everything, since I won't have an extra tank available and they are suppose to be setting up a tank just for the ray.
Hes talking about the poop. If your ray poop is dark, solid and curly, then your ray is healthy. If your ray poop is white, runny/stringy, and breaks up into peices then your ray has internal parasites.sbrodacz;3512499; said:Ok so a darker ray is a "healthier" ray?
