Since your water parameters look perfect, I would run a 2 to 3 week course of Prazipro. I have had this happen before from feeding live foods like nightcrawlers. The Prazi has cleared it up every time. Good luck!

Yes, continue feeding. She is going to need the energy. Any rays that go on "hunger strike" are having some sort of issue (disease, stress, parasite, etc.).
i started treatment with prazipro yesterday she has quite eating completely and now has blotches all over her skin anyone have any idea what could be going on?
