Ive had my retic ray for about 4 days now and he hasnt eating anything at all. Ive tried krill and nightcrawlers and he still won't eat. He had alot of sand sticking to him the first day which i believe is a sign of stress, but he seems completely normal now besides not eating. He also likes to swim at the top of the tank every once and a while and come partly out of the water on the sides of the tank. I need to know how to get him to eat and if he is stressed, how to make him less stressed. Also, he is all alone in a 150.
retic ray not eating
- Thread starter lb football20
- Start date
It may take up to a week for him to start eating. Don't be worried yet.
Keep the water clean and the lights out.

Same as bella said. Climbing the walls is normal. When you say swimming at the top is it just sorta staying in one spot right at the surface not stuck to a wall but flat out?

the ray likes to swim all around the tank and sometimes go up against the glass and stick partly out of the water. but this is kind of rare. he mostly just stays in one spot on the bottom or swims around on the top part of the tank.
