Hey
My marble has always been a really agresive eater and very active. Now he spends 50% of the tim berried and has stopped eating. He's gotten pretty skinny and I'm worried. I did a 75% water change when he started to stop eating but he's still acting the same, nothing has changed. He lives alone in a 120. The params are 0 ammonia and nitrite, 20 ppm nitrates, and a ph of 7.2. The only thing that i can think of is that a silver aro that used to live in his tank had IP's. The aro is in a quarentine tank and I moved him right when I saw signs. Is it possible that the ray has IP's? How do I cure it? Please help, thanks.
 
Well,now he's making me look like a liar
he just ate 8 pieces of krill
 
My guess would be water quality. A stingray in a 120 gallon you should prob be doing 10% to 25% waterchanges every day

check filters are clean and up the aeration would be my suggestion but it sounds like things are moving in a posative direction.
all the best.

Yah, I assume it was that because 30 minutes after the water change, he started feeding aggressively again

Done and done. He's already doing much better so the only thing I can think of is that the water was getting a little dirty.
