algae eater.

 

[bcfd144]

the stingray is acting like he is not breathing well though..

 

[jeffers]

that spot is probably the size of your large plecos sucker? rays and plecos dont usually do so well i would get rid of all three

algae eater. placoes * (however you spell it)
and the stingray is now acting like he cant breath....

 

[smpage]

isolate the ray in it's own tank would be step number one.

 

[bcfd144]

not a problem, I can get rid of them.
just wondering why now he is acting so funny.
seems less active, breathing slowed way way down.
I added some neomycin and melafix like i was told to do just in case he needed an antibotic to heal the spot. and since then, he has slowed his breathing..

 

[bcfd144]

ive already taken everyone but him out of the tank and he is by himself. will leave that way till he is better.
added antibiotics

what is the temp of the tank? is there enough surface aggetation? whats the parmaters of the tank?

 

[bcfd144]

78 deg
yes,,,
its a 130 gal short tank.. not a tall
we have several rays..
he is the first to do this. he is the only one in this tank
might have been sucker that made the red spot.. but he is acting funny the last 5 hrs..
not moving around much, lets his disk float up. (curl) and not breathing alot..
I took him out for a few and put him in his clean tank, and he moved round more then, but now back and sitting....

cant keep him in clean tank, its not big enough for him to stay in more than a few hrs..
