She´s leaving....

[ernesto]

Not sure when but i believe she´s not gonna make it.
I think she´s gonna die. Today i found her floating (like resting n the surface) and breathing really fast on the surface. Here are acouple of pics of the dark mark s on the ventral side of the disc.

While she was on surface i saw her disc was kind of "curl" upwards....im pretty sure she´s gonna die. I´ll try to take her on a prazicuantel bath and see.

I dont think its necrosis, just some kind of decoloration that´s not right. She´s still active but not eating. Its not heater burn. Wich is the doseage of salt?. I´ve read on Gerald Bassleer´s "The new illustrated guide to fish diseases" that for most of internal parasites he recomend Fenbendazol and thats what im gonna use. 200mg/100Lt
Temp is now at 28ºC.

O2 good? What's your temp?

 

[Nic]

add salt increase the temp... also put a airstone or two in there and let them rip....

Floating on the top of the water usually is from lack of oxygen (could be temp related), poor water quality, or parasites infecting the gills..

Rays do this in the wild when they incur low o2 zones in slow moving areas of the water, they have the ability to come towards the surface to collect more air.. I also have seen it alot from ammonia spikes and overfeeding of seafoods and such..
