Why lower temp? Keep it at around 84 and dont go any lower then that

mike can you explain to me why keep the temp so high. someone else told me to lower the temp when i told him i was at 86.

Like CSX said keep the water 85-86. Raise it back up gradually and black worms live in water. Dont take them out. Try to make sure she has them in there at all times. Looks like she is doing better! Keep up your efforts. Do water changes at least every other day but not too much, like 20% maybe cause u dont want to change any of your levels from adding the tap water or it will stress her. Good luck john

thanks mike i'm not even doing 20% i'm just removing all the s#it everyday.

thanks i got the good member here at MFK and an old vendor that used to be on MFK but got the boot to give me advice so i thank all of you.
 
You want the temp at the 82-86 range because they burn the food faster so then you can feed more

how big is this ray if it can fit in a 10 gallon ?

probably 5-6" disc. it's just temporary
 
Higher temp means increased metabolism, hence an increase in the ray receiving more nutrients, vitamins, etc!!!

Increase the temp please...

Exactly, I think I know who told you to keep the temp at 76 ECZS? Dont lower the temp. 10 gallon tank is way to small for this animal to get back to healthy, There simple isnt enough water in there and you will need to do 50% water changes everyday to keep it clean, And thats not good either for the ray. Try to place him in a bigger tank like 20-40 gallons and you will have more stable water for the ray and be able to perform water changes without causing any stress. I have to say I dont see any improvement in the ray from those pictures. Keep trying the other thing is you need to keep alot of live blackworms in the tank for the ray to always eat and in a 10 gallon tank they will spoil the water to quickly. Keep temp up, get her in a bigger tank and leave lots of black worms they will live in the high temp with no problems.

Ahhhh...another vendor gets dragged into the mix. WAS IT ECZS??? I never saw East Coast being said in any post. I've also never seen a skinny ray sold by east coast zoo, and, his Motoro's are $75 and still in Jersey. It's funny how the various sellers like to feed on one another.
