last sunday i picked up a marble motoro stingray (pics below), from a lfs. i had this as a special order so i had to pick it up right away. and the problem right now is that the stingray hasn't been moving much since i got it. it stays in 2 spot in my 180gal tank. it can stay there for over 6hrs in one spot. it looks a little bit skinny right now as the pelvic bones are slowly showing. what scares me is that by the tail the disc flaps up a little bit once in awhile. i'm scared that its gonna be death curl. what should i do?
ph 6.8
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
temp 86
i already added salt and prazi.

what can i do? or is the only thing that i can do is wait?

Just relax and let him settle in.
