that ray was so skinny it would not have taken much to kill it.
if the others are that skinny i would start feeding again . small amounts a three times a day . keep an eye on your ammonia and nitrite readings and stay on top of those water changes. just remember to take out any food after an hour that they have not eaten as uneaten food produces tons of waste fairly quickly.
fingers crossed for the rest of them.
 
in the last pic, is that sand laying on the disk? almost looks like undisolved salt. if that is the case, salt, that could be killing the rays.........salt has to be disolved for rays or it will cause severe burns, internal and external.
 
i dont think its an amo burn. your rays's bottom is clean. IMHO amo burn will make your rays bottom red.. and it had to be very red too kill it...

on your second pic, there is yellow & red color on her belly, i think its an internal bleeding, what food are they eat?
 
digestive problems maybe? i know when i have feederfish some aren't smart enough to eat so i'm having to get smaller amounts at a time
