Could the problem with all the wildcaught rays be coming because of the season upon which these rays were collected. Maybe water quality is poor or food quantity is low when they were collected or maybe some other seasonal problem.
I know they where collecting in deeper water and it's not there ideal time to collect when I got mine. With the ban lifted in Brazil everyone was collecting when they normally wouldn't have collected at that time. Also deeper water meens hook and line catches instead of nets which is more stressful. I've went through all the posts on here when I first joined and have never seen this many problems at once. Maybe it's just more rays coming in than ever so the percentage is the same just the numbers are higher
Titles are just fine.... And advice is good.... More beers and blondes. Less ray worrying.
I think the rays are more fragile then we give them credit for. Maybe more "wind down" time from the jet lag. I think they can easily be stressed by things like tankmates that we are overlooking.
There has to be a senseable solution to all this.....
