what needs to be done for pregnant ray?

[batang_mcdo]

i think i have a pregnant ray, anything that needs to be done? like feeding more?
i have separated her from from my other rays using an acrylic sheet.

Separating is only necessary If other rays are causing her stress. Sometimes males won't stop going after them after the job is done. I have never fed extra to a pregnant female. As long as u give them plenty everyday anyway that has been enough for mine. I do feed them extra right after they give birth for a week or two to fatten them back up though.

Thank you by the way would it be safe to dose with prazi when they are pregnant? I try to
Deworm my rays twice a year and its time again.

You're welcome. I don't dose unless it's quarantine for a wild caught ray, or I know there is an issue for sure. So I don't have an answer for u man. I'm sure someone else with expirience about meds and pregnanr rays can chime in. Might be info in the sticky threads also?

You can flukesolve whilst gravid but I would only do if really needed, better to wait until pups are born then do it at a half dose.
