Urgent.... Need help and advice

[Blixc]

Hi, HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone.
I got one big, one small stingray and 5 comet(5inch) in 10ft tank. Since the big stingray ate one comet, and this big stingray never intake anything already 5 days.
i'm sure that's not water temperature, ph, water quality. I also do change water every week 50%. Because i check all of this. And the small stingray keep eating and eating. Only the big one in trouble in this moment.
Is there any PRO Monster Fish keeper may give me some advice??
I'm worry about the stingray can't starving.... getting slim.

we've had some great success with uncoated vitamin b1. i've heard vitamin b12 works too, but make sure it's not coated.

keep temperature at 30 degrees C, or 86 degrees F.

try changing up the foods, too. earthworms and black worms generally do very well. if that doesn't work, try raw market shrimp.

hope that helps.
and good luck!

i never hear of that before?

so you just buy Vitamin B1 from the store and feed it to the ray?
i have a similar problem, will it help?

feeding strikes with rays are pretty common, nothing really to worry about. Itll probably start eating again in a few days.

what we've done is crushed it up (put the vitamin in a folded piece of paper so crumbs will not fly everywhere and we just smashed it with a hammer, ha). and then we added the powder to the water slowly.

we just bought ours from wal-mart.
hopefully that works for you like it has for us.

keep the tank warm and dark.... cover it if needed to keep light out of it and offer worms.... KISS is so fricking simple

With only a month or two experience, are you comfortable giving out advice?

I hope it pulls through but stingrays can fast randomly so it will probably be ok.
