Have you introduced any new stock lately? If not whens the last time you brought something new into the tank?

i got a new ray about 3 weeks ago... but i took him out and put him in his own tank... his tank is the only one showing no symptoms at all...

all i feed is smelt, earthworms, and blackworms for the pups...

could have been in w the blackworms????

Perhaps with the new ray? How long did you quarantine? Some things take a long time to Q.
:confused:

the new ray was a captive bred from a buddy... w no signs, but it could happen...

someone in the disease section said its a aquatic earthworm... it looks too mean to me, to be an aquatic earthworm...

who should i ask? jelly, or oddball maybe???
