  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Usually it's perfect or great :ROFL:

Yeah its true.


Miks786 Miks786 you will need to up your wc with at least 50% for starters. In my 540L growout with one ray i change about 450L twice a week. And please post your parameters and what kind of filtration youve got on your tank if you want help with this ray. There is something thats not right with your tank as this ray dont eat well.

Clean water, salt and food will hopefully fix this ray.
I don't keep rays but I just went through about 4 threads on death curl (which is a symptom not disease).
Your advice seems to be spot on. Only other things I saw talked about water hardness. If Parasite use Prazi? Can it hurt at this point to use salt and Prazi?

Deathcurl is a symptom yes. Deathcurl is usually the last stage before a ray throws in the towel.

I dont see a dose of prazi doing anything bad in this situation but im far from an expert in rays. Ive personally lost two pups within some months one due to heatwave last summer second of unknown reasons but i suspect a major ph fluctuation in my tapwater due to an waterleak down the street.

Agree. Seems to get a lot of ray owners very concerned if they see any curl. I just think that by the photo (not good) and the ray getting skinny but still eating maybe Prazi was worth a try. I did read that some ray owners have and Kh or Ph shifts that were bad news.

Well yeah. Curl is never a good sign on a ray. As said im far from an expert on trouble with rays since ive never had any major problems with my rays but they can start to curl from to much stress on the long term. This ray has gone far if you look to the dent between the eyes and its skinny so i dont think it has been eating to much at all. Prob have white stringy poop too. Somethings wrong with his tank and he dont answers the questions that might help him figure out whats wrong.
