Evening!
I have a hybrid ray we’ve had him for around 8months now. Hasn’t shown growth rate like my others, I have 2 bds and pearl ray with Malaysian blue base arowana.
He’s been breathing heavy since last Sunday, didn’t eat for 2 days we sectioned him off to relieve any stress he may have encountered from other rays or Aro, although none witnessed thought was best for him, he Then ate a worm (I cheered!) and continued to eat Hikari carnivore pellets for a few days, not as much as he usually does but thought it was a good sign. Now no food for a few days and no interest in food whatsoever.
Tank is 300 gallons
Ph did drop to around 6.2 which in essence made our filtration stop doing its job, we added crushed coral to bring up above the 6.5 mark n is now at 7.5.
We have 2x fx6 temp 28 degrees C
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5
We do around 10% daily water changes, when he didn’t eat and started breathing heavy we upped it to 40% over a few days and are now around the 30% a day mark.
Started him on Seachem Paraguard yesterday and just had his 2nd dose.
Don’t want to lose this little guy. He’s amazing.any help, advice appreciated.
Thanks!
