Stingray Help Needed!

[GarGetter]

She’s isolated from the other rays within the tank now. Occasional bass and gar venture over to clean up any food left behind. I’m afraid to move her as thin as she is. Ate like a pig tonight, added a little bit of salt but building up to it

Just keep feeding her maybe try a few times a day and clean up leftovers. And keep a very close eye out for infection. Let her heal and take time out of the day to observe her and see if she gets fatter and healthier. Or see if anything progresses.

Parameters are pH 6.6 , Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 and I'm 100% certain my nitrate test is ineffective because it says on all 7 of my tanks the nitrate level is 160+ ppm but I assure you that's not the case. Fish would be dying left and right. I would assume the nitrates are pretty low based on ammonia and nitrites in here and I'm running a sump with over 100 lbs of biomedia, an fx6 and multiple sponge filters on a 450 gallon tank...

when is the last time you cleaned all your media and filters?

Well she got a dent between her eyes. I would do an 80%wc change now. Salt the water keep the lights dimmed and just try to bulk her up slowly. Feeding multiple times a day and keep all fish away from her. Dont move her at all as that will stress her out even more.

Any updates?

Any updates?

Wish I had good news to report, but nothing has changed as of yet. Did another water change today ~60% and she’s still eating. No real signs of weight gain, but she’s not any skinnier. Not really sure what else I can do at this point. I lightly salted the other day, I don’t want to stress out the other rays, but I might hit the tank with some Prazi on the off chance it’s parasitic.... just wouldn’t make a lot of sense to me since no one else in the tank is showing signs of anything.... still happily open to suggestions. I might gently creep up the salt levels this weekend and add some prazi to cover for bacterial and parasitic. But right now I’m puzzled ?

How long have you had her?

How's it going.

G GarGetter is she ok?

My first set of motoros would feed great but wasted away. After hanging out for a while after feeding I noticed the group of 4 blue gouramis would lightly harass the rays by constantly touching them with their feelers until they regurgitated. By the time I figured it out and moved the gouramis they were too far gone.
