My teacup stingray died :( I'm so incredibly sad. I've had him over a year. I would just like stare into that tank like every night :( I don't know what could have caused it, besides my boyfriend spraying a lot of lysol in my room. I noticed he was breathing heavy this morning, so i did a water change and the next time i checked on him about 4 hours later he was dead :( I was so sad. I still am. I haven't been this sad since my sharks died while i was on vacation last summer. I never had a stingray die on me before, i even got my motoro out of a death curl and he's still healthy. The only other thing i can think of is that i didnt feed them their usual shrimp last night, but i fed them the night before and so on :( I'm so angry at myself for not paying more attention to him.
 
sorry for your loss.

it could have been the spray, or water quality.. hard to tell. was he spraying around the top of the tank? ive had 3 rays die on me.. it sucks i know how you feel.
 
Sorry for your loss. It sucks to lose any fish esppcially a ray.
 
Yeah, that really sucks!! there was no physical signs other than the breathing, which you said only happened hours before he died?? Strange. Well, may be bad timing, but welcome to MFK, lol, noticed this was your first post. Anywho, like others said - what species? And I know he is dead now, but did you take any pictures within the last two days of him? If so, could you post one. thnx. Sorry though, it does suck!

They where ther stores rays, he just wanted to get one after a while....

It just sucks, becuase of the low importing of themnow so everyone that dies is one less to have and so much harder to replace :(
