I woke up because i had to use the bathroom look over and i See my Ray Sideways on the Airstone.

So i panic grab my test kit ph is around 6.8-7.0 Damn Well water. ive done a 25% change on a 75 with a 30gal sump

She ate 1/2 dozen ghost shrimp and 4-5 pieces of krill and she was very aggressive usual

Ive had her since September got her from FlorenceBigFish So no parasites

what to do wait it out?

I'm sorry to tell, but i think the stingray will not make it.

Sofar i can see the stigray is way to skinny. If you have here since september i think she would have had more fat on here bones.
Also i see the edge of the disk is damaged and is white. That doubts on bad water condition. Probably ammonia.

sorry bout your ray...i hope she makes it ....

pH is fine, why are you upset about the pH? What's ammonia?

 

[Sjoeerd]

Ammonia = NH3

Alright after further Searching Found out my Albino Bushy Nose pleco made it's way into the sump... Im going to guess that's why my Nh3 was barely .25
API ammonia test had a slight Tinge of green

It's been about 90minutes since the change and My API ammonia is Bright yellow after five minutes. Yellow is 0 starts turning Green bad. hopefully she can be saved. i just turn the lights on again and all of her disc is on the ground for now.

imma pick up some ammo-carb today put that in my HOT magnum Currently it just has Carbon in it.

I run both a Hot magnum on the Tank and the sump. with about 7 boxes of Fluval Bio-max rings

The pH is actually pretty low. He's probably aiming for 7.6 - 7.8. And if you don't know what ammonia is then it's going to make fish-keeping very difficult for you down the road. I'd do some research on what makes up your water quality. (I don't mean this in an offensive or accusing way, just trying to be helpful.)

To the OP: good luck!

haha. I meant what's the reading. I think I know what ammonia is, I was the first person to even mention ammonia in this thread.

The pH is absolutely fine. I have no idea why anyone that's keeping freshwater rays would ever aim for a pH in that range. If his pH was 7.6 and he had ammonia in the system his ray would be worse off than if the pH was 6.8

And if you don't know what ammonia is then it's going to make fish-keeping very difficult for you down the road. I'd do some research on what makes up your water quality.

I'm just going to assume you don't post in the ray forum often.
