I have a smooth river back sting ray that has a 12 inch disk. We noticed two large bumps on his head and are not sure where they cam from or are...has anybody ever experienced this? He also has been barley eating. He with mouth the food but wont consume it. Weve tried garlic to help. His poop has also been a dark green, almost algae color. He is in a tank by himself. Any advide/info would be much appreciated!

Probably going o need to add more info

Tank size?
Water test results?
Picture for sure of the ray and the poop
How often do you water change?

I would start by doing some large water changes for the next few days then maybe treat your water for bacterial infection or parasite

What color are the bumps? Are they fuzzy? Is there anything he can scratch himself on? If you answered yes to these questions and the bumps are white, its a fungal ussue. Pimafix is gentle enough to not bother the rays but strong enough to fix something. Hard to tell without a pic though
