New 2 x Leo Stingray with disappointing result......

[Ma12cus504]

I received these 2x Leo Stingray yesterday, sold by a fellow MFKer but shipped by a vendor here. They didnt look quit right in the bag already, look "funny" As some of you already know, i have been working my *** to save up enough to get these and this is what i received for my hard work.

When i received these, i did a drip method for almost an hr and when i put them in the main tank with my other two leo, I was shock from what I see. ....very very skinny and beginning sign of death curl. I was told they were fasten for 3 days so they can be ship. See the pix

Dripping Method....






2-3 hr after released....

Nice Leos. I dont know if that is death curl, it kinda looks like they are not used to being on sand. Did you test the bag water they came in to see if the ammonia spiked ?

If it deathcurl and is the sand, I am a bit relieved. I just need it to eat, and i am happy. We'll see tonight

Yes, i am the guy with the 2nd job As long as they are not dead, we still have a chance. I will buy some blackworms and nightcrawler and try out tonight. Please let it eat.... I'll keep ya'll posted.

From what i observed, they were obtain as pups at around march/april. They should be same age as my pair that i got from mikey. But if you see the comparison between these and mine, they are 1-1.5" smaller then mine. The smaller one have pelvic bone and both tail is skinny. I will take new pic using my sr camera tonight. I plans to get some worms for them to see if they will eat. If they eat, i can fatten them and can save them.

I check them this morning before leaving to work, they look calm. Drop some MP to see if they eat. I should have quarantine but too late, i released them in the tank. Didnt want to moved them around again since they were already stressed. We will see what happen tonight with the worms.
