Not eating

[derek_discus]

I have stingray around 10inches she is not eating as normal been like this for a month or 2 I believe she is breathing heavily but still moving around. I treated with fluke solve 3 x thinking it's a gill fluke however no changes happened. She is eating just May be 1or2 small cut of white bait and prawn but that's it...dont know what to do now...Can anyone tell me what could be the other reason...water are all fine doing 2x water change tank size 5x2.5x2.5 with 2 small dats and pbass

Would suspect water quality. What’s ur filtration like? Despite the water changes twice, are u checking the parameters?i If so what are the values? Have u been always doing ur water changes 2x? What is the white bait? Salt water fish? Any pellets or alternative foods available?

Have you seen it’s poop at all? If so, is it white and/or stringy? Did the ray eat well prior or is this a new ray? Are any of the tank mates new?

A round of prazi pro may help. Rays can get their digestive track backed up and stop eating. If there are any internal parasites from new mates the prazi will handle that.

Definitely try the prazi as Justin suggests, another thing to try is chopped nightcrawlers. They seem to have a laxative effect, plus being live may help trigger an instinctive feeding response.

Sorry I did not mention that..Yes water parameters are all good water changes twice a week around 30%...No pellets just prawn and white bait (it's a small fish frozen)

No not sure if it's stingrays poo or coming from the tank mate I saw white stringy before but not often..I have tried prazi 3x already but seems not working well she is a bit better but not as normal

Might do sir but I tried it 3x already but of course I will give it a try again just wondering if there is more I can think about what is wrong
