When to bring home Skinny ray.

[batang_mcdo]

Recently bought 2 rays with my friend. mine is quite skinny, did not notice it was really thin and the pelvic part is showing.
its about 7 inches. We are in the 2nd treatment with Prazi, My skinny ray is eating, while his bigger one which is fatter has not yet started eating.
when would it be safe to bring home my ray? my friend is feeding the ray 2 times a day , once in the morning and once at night.
I have a 350 Gal tank prepared for her, would it be safe to bring her home after completing the Prazi treatment? or what will be the better timing?

I would wait until both rays are fattened and eating before bringing mine home.

still worried about this skinny ray so far we have dewormed 2 times and he is eating a little. How many times should they be fed? 2 times a day enough even for skinny pup?

So far he did pounce on the food when we dropped some . He also seems to
Like the freshwater sardine.

I mean...if you're trying to get the fish to fatten up, feed a medium bit, a lot. So like, maybe don't feed 8 sardines 2x a day, but feed something like 4-5 sardines 4x a day. And use foods that have high fat ratios, so like worms and squid, y'know?

Thanks! I'm worried as it has a bad xase of running spots, i suspect it was harassed by his pleco on the first day, but the pleco has already been removed.
my friend in only able to feed once in the morning and once at night. Thinking if i can bring her home to my tank, i can feed her 4-5 times a day as i'm
Just staying at home

That is in bad shape. Personally if it has been treated and you can match water parameters, I would get that home and concentrate on some weight gain.
As you say the running spots are bad so has clearly been stressed.

Thanks , i suspect she might have been harassed by a pleco , but it has sinced been removed , she has been through 2 doses of prazi, so far she does ounce on food . Will it be ok to bring her hone tonorrow? Or is it ok to let her go through one more prazi dose?
