x2, but what could it be? Stress? Bad water? Tankmates?Kevaldo;2731113; said:if its filling the tank then its a lot of slime and there must be a reason for the ray to keep doing this
If you have sand in the tank, its probably the sand sticking to the slimecoat and appearing to come off. There is no such thing (as far as I know) as rays shedding. What kind of ray is it?
Yeah but under normal conditions a healthy ray would not produce that much slime.Kolossus;2731475; said:
I'm gonna say there is somethig wrong.
Electrical current? Maybe. We don't feel like like a ray would. And it might only effect them due to how sensative they are.
Water chemsitry? Maybe. What is being tested for? And by what methods?
A healthy ray should't be having such an issue with it's skin/slime coat.

i have sand in with some of my rays and the sand sticks to them and when they flick it off there is no slime with it, only once have i seen slime on one of my Leo's at that was when she was only a few months old and managed to jump out of the tank and was on the carpet for a few min's, when i put her back in for the next few days she looked slimey but never again, there is deffinatly somthing a miss here. can you post some pic's of the ray and the tank and filtration please?Kolossus;2731475; said:
