Last two days she has really gotten lethargic. Still eating, however not dominating the other female like she used to. She has also changed colors from almost black to this.

any other rays picking on her???
 
No Nic she is very dominant in the tank. Kicks the crap out of the big female all the time and holds her own with the male.
 
I have not seen anything like that with my rays to date, even after breeding. She lost alot of color compared to some of your old pictures tim, As long as she is still eating I would not be to worried but definetly something you need to keep an eye on.
 
My advice is add as much salt as possible and feed her as much night crawlers as she can eat. As for the shrimp i would not use it anymore i guess it has some type of bacteria that made the ray sick and It has to be cooked in order to kill. Also try and block her away from the other rays and fish because any injury will just make it worse but do not remove her from the tank or pond.
