from what i understand most rays are wild caught. also i know most piranhas that are wild caught will have tapeworms so im guessing its a good possiblility rays might also considering they are all coming out of the same amazon water as piranhas are

ok, so how do you treat them before they go in your main tank?

 

[piranha_guy_dan]

put them in a quarentine tank and treat them in there.......... or else put them in your main tank and treat it instead. using a smaller quarentine tank would mean a smaller dose because less water.

mine seem to be fine but i didnt notice any tapeworms on the bottem in my sand

sorry, i meant what is a good med for them, as in what you treat them with.

 

[piranha_guy_dan]

its for tape worms and yes its a good med

IMO fish look better when they are darker and not as pale but thats just my opinion. In my mind I just assosiate pale fish with less healthy stressed fish.
