Ray head swollen

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yes my p14 looked just like that.

It was shortly after getting shipped to me. I did everything! Talked to several biologist and, kept water as clean as possible, daily water changes, isolation, and treated for gill flukes.
Eventually they made full recovery!! Good luck!
I didn't have a flag tail or pleco btw

This is exactly the same symptoms John. Its not just the head that's swollen its the whole body, in my experience like I said before it doesn't usually end well.

I have seen this many years ago. To me it looks like a retention of body fluids caused by internal bacteria (Dropsy). My guess is it probably won't get better but if it was me I would raise the temp to 28 deg C and add salt, nothing to lose, I have had some success with other fish by doing this.

Good luck!

That was pretty much going to be my answer.
