Consider keeping lights off for 3 days and see if that helps. Rays tend to be skittish when something is bugging them, otherwise in my experience they have always been quite social, mine NEVER bury, can count on 1 hand the amount they have over the year and a half I've owned them. Vamptrevs questions about how they eat may in fact be another indicator of how they're feeling overall

thanks but I have already tried that. I had bought a few wild caught teacup pups one time riddled with paracites inside and out. after treating them and then putting them in the tank they even didnt take this long before they were out and about.
 
I don't think any of my black rays had a pink belly at all. Otherwise I think there's just a.lot going on, and being young they need more time to adjust. I'd get an accurate reading of the ph out of your tap and the ph in your tank, changes in stock sometimes leads to crashes

Thanks again for your help! Why would they have pink bellies? I dont see any wounds or cuts or cottony patches. But these rays are not acting normal for sure.

Possibly the gravel? You may consider removing it? Or water quality high nitrates Will give them belly burn.

well its been a couple weeks since i posted this thread and the rays are still skittish. they come out a little tiny bit more but they are the most skittish rays i have ever owned. the instant the lights go out they act like normal rays almost instantly. craziest thing, right!
 
I have raised several litters of motoro pups, marble motoro pups, and am now raising a litter of two Leo pups born on 2/14/14.Of all the pups I have raised these are by far the most timid.During daylight hours they hide in the corner behind a sponge filter.They are alone in a 150 gallon tank and only come out at feeding time then quickly return. While all the pups Ive raised have liked to hide behind the filter none have done it so much. I beleave this is nothing to worry about and they will grow out of it
