anyone know how to treat internal bug? My stingray stop eating and pooping sting flat brown poop. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Depends on what u r feeding....might be normal.. If u are feed worms like blood,night crawlers etc., the ray poop will be dark. If ur feeding shrimp, tilapia etc, then the poop is normally light colored like whitish in my experience, if this isn't right then my rays are sick haha
 
What kind of test kit do you use?

Can you answer these questions to the best of your ability

PH-

Ammonia-
Nitrite-
Nitrate-
4. Water temp?
5. What is your water change schedule (how often and how much)


Tank setup info:
6. Type and depth of substrate?
7. How long has your tank been set up?
8. Method of aeration of water
9. When was the last time you cleaned tank and substrate?
10. What size tank do you have? (gallons/liters and footprint)
11. What type of filtration are you using in your tank?
Please post picture of your tank ray is housed in. (if able, this helps us see your tank set up and rays living conditions)


Tankmates and general info :
12. Tankmates and size of tankmates?
13. What and how often do the ray(s) eat and last time fed?
14. How long have you been keeping rays?
15. How old are your ray(s) and sex (age, male or female)?
16. How big is your ray(s)?
 
Give them a little time before you decide to treat with any meds. They may just have been stressed from the introduction of the other rays that you lost.
