didnt think she was fat i could see her ribs poking out and she wasnt eating, i dosed tank with salt and pimafix and hits been a week since she was really bad and she seems to have come good smashing earthworms again and not curling up also do they eat the vegetation?? didnt know if they would or not and here is a quick vid of her hitting a worm.

I think the "ribs" you're referring to are part of her gills. My female motoro looks quite similar in that manner. I'ts usually not easy to get them onto veggies. But if shes eating earthworms, give the worms a heap of vegetable matter to eat, then when she eats the worms she inadvertently ingests some of that vegetation aswell.

I know the feeling. When something similar happened to my mantilla I freaked out. But it turned out the simplest solutions sorted things out just fine. All I did was maintain water quality, bumped up temp and added stress coat and salt with each partial change. The problem with rays - especially here in aus most lfs wouldn't be too knowledgeable on them nor do they stock suitable meds for them. For me personally it was a real learning experience but at least I'm a little better prepared for (heaven forbid) next time.
