thanks mate.

ive messed around and spent all the time ive had mushing up worms, mixing up food cleaning out all the uneaten food, extra waterchanges cause the tank has been a mess.

but i will admit its been easyer then i expected it to be the way he just totally refused anything i put in the tank.

just need to find the money for pellets now! lol. used a bag in 3 days so it might be more expencive then just sticking with the worms!.

he is also eating some prawn, chewing mussel and chewing scallop.

thanks for the comment bruce.

u can order on line. It works out £40 for 1 kg of sinking carnivore. If those little 74g bags cost £6.50, then u can save alot when order 3kg or more. Massivore is similar price. My motoro is now also taking marinated pellets.:D
 
just to let you all know he stopped eating last friday and hasent eaten since. he is now thinner then when i got him and spinning in circles.

he is on his way out which is a dam shame. i think he has some sort of brain damage probably caused by the extended time he has been under fed.

its strange how he just began to feed some what normally and then just stopped and totally refused anything from then on. i tryed a paracite treatment incase he had worms and could of passed them on to the others. but that made it worse if anything.

i really really thought ide managed to pull round.
 
Sorry to hear your news. It is a shame as I thought like you that you had pulled him around. :(

Did he make it through??

he is still alive yes but he just gets worse and worse. he is ither stitting there no moving at all, or spins on the spot like he is chaseing his tail.

he looks soooo thin now i actually want him to hurry up and pass on, ive never seen such a poor ray and dont like seeing one this bad.

ive even tryed garlic extract but dident help at all.
