need help: my ray don't eat !

[mytjj]

i get a small flower ray, but don't eat almost 3 days, every thing looks ok: PH. Nitrate. i try the G-shrimp, earthworm, but don't open the mouth. should i turn off the light at day time or something elth i do wrong ??? need help !!!

Try boosting the temp up a little and leave the tank nice and dark for a couple of days. But everyday try feeding the ray a little and see if it will accept, if not just take out the food and try again the next day. Also try treating it, as it may have internal parasites.

Don't drug the ray yet. There are no signs of internal parasites, so why treat it. He's only had it 3 days. cut the lights, and try offering it live blackworms, raise the temp a bit.

mine took just over a week to start looking at food..

temp up a notch, cover the tank completely *use towels *
during day/night for a few days even.

good luck and dont stress, it is normal.

warm dark tank is all ya should need... cover the tank with a old blacket or towel...

Flowers are sometimes harder to get eating. Like everyone said above but if you can find it blackworms are a must. Hard to find in some spots of Canada.

live blackworms. they are my flowers favorites. they will eat them at night when no one is looking
