feed feed feed and do water changes and keep the tank dark. Its just a common brown ray but it has a nice pattern.

x2, get yourself a flashlight and go pick up a load more worms...like right now.
 
It could be Tiger ray but... why Brazil?

I suggest you relocate the turtle. Base on my experience on Terrapines, it would nip the ray's disk when competing for food.
 
From how the tail looks, i think its a humerosa. I cant see the turtle but if theres one in there, you should take it out like Kamisan said.

What do you mean why brazil? it came from brazil if thats what you mean:confused:
Thank you for the info on the turtles. if the ray wont kill the turtle i might try it. right now its suffering from too small a tank with a pike cichlid picking on it :WHOA:

There is no turtle in the tank. theres is two in the pond and i am afraid the turtles will get stung.
The turtle is doing much better and is a lot more active i fed him a worm but right now i could only find one. i gave him some cardinal tetras but is he capable of eating one?
thank you for your help but you dont need to tell me to feed it more, i am trying my hardest.
 
i hope this ray is doing okay....how is he eating now... i would worry about that more then anything... and posbbly get it in a tank by himself... when you have a picky eater its doesnt help it to have a fish picking at it esp during feeding time... id get some ghost shrimp and blackworms and just try and constantly keep them in there...i know you dont want ot hear people to keep telling you to feed him but this is the skinniest ray i have ever seen....
 
I personally was amazed at how much a tiny ray can consume in one day, I would estimate that they can eat almost their own body weight in worms. They need the energy as they are always on the move. Did you cut the worms in half?
