The beginning of the end? Raykeepers nightmare.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I apologize for that. You deserve credit as I think you're on the right track. I believe you are correct about the bacterial infection. However I have already been informed that the disease that is normally cured by Metro is becoming immune to it.

I ordered meds the day after this thread started.

Someone PM'd me shortly after this thread was started and gave me some absolutely priceless advice. Let's hope it works.

There WILL be something learned from this thread, not just about rays being sick but about people helping eachother.


No Problem,

I'm not looking for a pat on the back, I didn't know if you saw my post or PM as there was no reply or mention of them. My intent was not to give you a blast but a reminder.

Out of curiosity, what was the advice you recieved?

I agree, I have learned alot from this Stingray Forum as well as made some great friends. That's what it's all about.
 

Well, apparently me drinking doesn't seem to help, otherwise they'd all be cured after this weekend..... lol

Have 1 female in the 750 eating again and the other 2 seem somewhat intrested, however all 3 look horrible. My light based girl is getting worse by the day. No intrest in food whatsoever.

Hoping meds show up today......

What course of meds are you going to try?
 
I was asked not to discuss the meds just yet. Not even sure they're gonna work.

My nicest Marble looks about as bad as any ray I've seen. Looks worse then the male did when he passed. Guessing she'll either buck up or check out over the next day or 2. Really hope it's not the latter.

Wish I knew WTF happened. Haven't had any issues with caring for rays for quite some time now.
 
Sounds like its getting a bit better though! Really hope the meds work and if they do i hope you can share this little secret ;)

Maybe you should come take a look. You seem to think it's getting better, simply seeing them I'm sure you'd be enlightened as to how bad it really is.
 
Hi Al.
When rays get ill they usually die within 48 hrs,the fact yours are still hanging in there and starting to nibble food for me suggests there's an improvement going on albeit slow,these things take weeks to rectify so be careful not to suddenly pump the tank full of drugs and get a bad reaction.I would keep going with whatever your doing for a while.
I wish you all the best and have my fingers crossed for you.
By the way i agree with keepinfish...looks like poo,i too have seen it before like that.....take a whif next time,if it smells like **** it probably is!!!!!
 
hows things?

rely stinks that mfk was down right in the middle of this...
