well hard to say this but both my orb girls have died. first and most favorite female died a couple days ago, woke up to her all curled up, tested the water, and everything was just fine. now today, came home from school and the second orb curled up, iono what happened. this sucks :(
 
ouch that sucks, sorry to hear that
 
Sorry for your loss, they where looking so good too. I hope you solve the "mystery"

Did you check all the water parameters

Ph
Ammonia
Nitrite

Any chance that some meds or copper got into the tank?
 
this is awful ancient... they were looking SO fat and healthy too. did u notice anything odd like their slime coat peeling or anything like that? what tankmates are in there? they might have gotten stressed from them.... OR... could it POSSIBLE be hypoplasia? i hope u find out and let us know... how often do u do WC's?
 
also how big of a waterchange did you do after your first one died and did you check all the filters for anything decaying? also im not sure what kind of substrate you use with them but if its sand how deep was the bed?

sorry to hear about this hopefully you wont give up on rays but figure out the problem is a must
 
Sucks! They had a nice little story to them too... skinny to chunky.

I think loosing fish for unknown reasons is the worst!! I would rather have prize fish die from something pin pointed so I can correct it. Sorry for your loss :(
