Rays not eating

[mshuangchao]

have you thrown in any prazi pro just in case? I would also try feeding some earth worms or something

My LFS's are all closed due to the Spring Festival, can't get anything at the moment.

Yeah thanx I'll be needing a lot of it. Today my male Leo ate one shrimp and he's looking quite active, but the female still refused to eat anything and the movements in her back have disappeared!!! NOoo...
I think it's due to inflammation in their intestines. Probably due to continuous incorrect feeding. I usually feed them market prawns and weather loaches. Both are frozen and chopped into the right size. Nothing seems to be wrong with this, was it because the food was out of date? The faeces I observed were normal in color but were not very solid. I don't see them getting a great deal thinner even after days of not eating.

Hey dude... I guess you are doing something right....constant water change regime. Rays need plenty of fresh water especially if your rays are those mature mama and papa. The road to recovery is near...Cheerio!!

 

[mshuangchao]

Oh... I feel like...I would be much better off if reality proved my predictions wrong.
My Leo aborted...one pup...
Second continuous loss of Leo pups...

...but I got this bigger problem and I don't know who to turn to. You see, the textbooks here for ideological and political education deny the existence of God and I hate that! I ripped the part right out! Being a Christian I feel I need to stand for my beliefs but I don't know how to do so, my teachers won't understand me and nor will the majority of my classmates, so I'm asking for your point of view. I'm very sorry indeed that this is off topic but I just don't know who to turn to . Thanks so much!!!

There is no evidence for the existence of anything supernatural, god or otherwise. Since you asked for input, here it is.

There is no reason to believe in any god. Nothing but wishful thinking supports these flimsy and unfounded beliefs. Carl Sagan, an incredibly brilliant Biologist and Astronomer, said a few startlingly brilliant things on the subject (here are a couple of examples):

"If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits?"

"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."

"Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science? ... No other human institution comes close."

"We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers."

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

You have the right, as a human being, to hold and express whatever beliefs that you wish. I cherish this right, and am glad that you can enjoy it. If you wish to talk further, email me. I am a fluent reader of Mandarin-Chinese, so if you're more comfortable writing in that language feel free.

^^^^ Could not have said better myself.

I have fed my 2 motoro rays solely market shrimp with the occasional dosing of liquid vitamins for the past year and a half and all seems well. The female just recently had two live pups that are also doing well. A varied diet would probably be better though.

I have been feeding thawed shrimp as well lately and it seems to pollute the water more quickly (lots of little pieces floating at the surface). Perhaps you need to increase your water changes and try to feed slightly frozen shrimp (I am going to follow my own advice).

谢谢你的回复，but I have strong faith in what I believe in, but thanks anyway. I talked to my dad about this subject and I have a clearer mind now. I don't think there would be need for further discussion on this topic, what am I doing? Lol! This is a fish forum... Let's stick to talkin' about fish!
