Tricky medical question...

[bradss]

I have a pregnant stingray in a 340 gallon tank along with about six angels and twleve discus. Unfortunately I have been losing about one discus a week due to illness. Each week a discus gets uninterested in food and wastes away 'til death. I feel awful. I purchased "Dewormer", "Metronidazole" and Prazilpro but don't want to hurt the mom stingray or the pups.... What do I do? Suggestions fish MDs?

Use the prazipro it's stingray safe, I have used it many many times. Even with pregnant rays in the system.

i would seperate the ray from the other fish and then medicate that way
if possible

^ Agreed ^

At that level of fish keeping a hospital tank is a must....

Thou i would remove the fish not the ray, I would rather stress out the fish rather than the preg. ray with a tank move.

I have medicated sting rays with both meds that you mentioned seemed very fish safe. I would have to agree about removing discus in a hospital tank. If you don't have one i would be concerned about medicating with a pregnant sting ray.

good luck and keep us updated
