Wierd motoro behavior? Should i be worried?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I know this may sound strange. But try and bang on the tank/spoke her.

Small rays often do that when they get scared. I think its because they know they cant hide themself.

My hystrix pair did it every time i came near the tank the first month i had them.
 
thanks :) the current is the tank is a little strong, i have a wavemaker in the tank. I'm also suspecting, could it be the 2 males are harassing her?
would adding sand be good, though i'm a little hesitant since it would make cleaning the tank harder.

If its a new ray, and she is just scared, wating is the best to do. It will pass in time. :)
 
thanks. this ray has been with me for more than a month now.
really hope she's ok :)

btw which is a better food for motoro?
Currently feeding my motoro mp and Small fish, will erathworms be better/ more nutricious? i have some compost worms, but have not been regularly feeding my motoros earthworms.
 
I made a 20% water change again, tester water parameters
ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
ph 7.5

Here's a video of her eating earthworm,



Anders I think your right and shes afraid? Would adding gravel make her feel more secure? when i turned on the aquarium lights she was stressed again .

After her earthworm



and here's a video before i fed them, I think she's trying to fit into the corner of the tank? any way i can make her feel more secure? will removing the 2 males add to her stress?



thanks for the help =D
 
No she is just afraid of you.

Give her some time. It will pass at some point. :)
