Need Help for my Ray!!!!!!!

[West1]

I got a 300gl yesterday and cleaned it out!!!! I used all of the water from the 150 to the new tank and filled the rest up as if it were a big H2o change.
My Ray eats twice a day and since he has not eaten or swam. You can see some of his Bones on top of him and he is breathing and no signs of death curl. Water and all params are fine. Heat is good, so what is it and how can I get him to shake back???????????????????????????

turn off all lights... did u use the same substrate? alot of the bacteria is in the substrate... try hooking up the same filtration on it... if u switched to a different pump... that should prolly help

When did you notice his bones showing? It generally takes some time before they start to show like a week. Did you use dechlorinator? Maybe he has internal parasites if he has been eating and losing weight.

how long has it been? I have moved some rays before that took 2-3 days to eat, just b/c the move seemed to spook them. Like Turk said, turn off the lights.

Lights are off.
I probly watch my Ray the most out of my fish, and I never ever seen the bones... They only apear when he breathes in. But I know I never seen this before.

Damb, this sucks!!! I hate having to worry about my fish

Everything is running the same from my old tank except I have a 4750Gph pump from my sump. Other than that all the same (I did add prepared carbon??? Ya think??)

By the way I did add 3 1/2 cups of prime. I figure 150 gallons was going to be new water so add that plus a little more...

you prolly should have only added 75 and then another 75 tommorow... just so it would be as much of a shock, just keep everything like it was and your ray should be fine, its just a lil stressed from the move

Should I add some feeders???
The rest of my fish are fine? I would have thought my Tats would of been more of a scare to me?????????

Thanks for the info guys. I'm releived (a little)
