2 of my rays are breathing with only one lung and pretty much stopped eating. looks white inside gills.

i dont know what the prob is.

all params are good

1 ray and armatus are perfectly fine. only the other two motoros are acting weird.

if necessary i could get a vid
 
damn. the answer to everything lol....did u add salt yet?
 
rays don't have lungs? j/k i have seen this with my rays when it looks like only one side is going up and down np probs
 
The Spiracles?

Might be a parasite infection of the gills, like Flukes.

Did you treat with PraziPro? Metro bath might help too..
 
i would add some salt and try to increase there d/o add a air stone or 2 to the tank
 
I agree with the guys...add a low dose of salt, get some Praz or Met and aerate. Maybe lower temp and touch, say 2-4 degress. Cooler (relatively) water holds more oxygen.
 
i found out i havent been changing my filters in my drip system often enough.

i threw in some stress coat, changed my filters and today everyone ate like pigs:headbang2
