White spots?

Weird... it looks a little like lateral line disease, or "hole-in-the-head" although I have never seen that condition in a stingray....I think metronidazole is supposed to cure lateal line disease...

What dosage would you recommend for this?

I had a few wild motoro I purchased come on with this in the past, It's not a hole in the skin at all. There small bumps that push out or up from the skin. I have had good luck treating this with salt.

Well. I have a ray (captive breed marble) That Ive had for about a year now. And He has something just like this right now. Still eating well. But I see it on him. And hes not as active. I was thinking of trying this out. As Ive had salt in the tank for 5days now. And temp is up. So.. Maybe Ill just try alittle more salt.

I had to use alot of salt to get rid of it. Need to get your salt level to 3.0 or
3lbs or salt per 100 minimum.
