great to hear so far. Just make sure there is constantly food offered to them until they get a little fatter
Wild Ray eating problem
- Thread starter CANAMONSTER
- Start date
No no, my male is Captive bred and was fine its the female I just got and I just put in the BW last night. I will see this evening if she has eaten.
It's hard to know if She is eating or if the BW are getting sucked up the filter eventually. I havnt turned the light on for 3 days now. She still looks skinny
She is doing some wierd stuff with her disc, its like all warped and kinda floats up higher then her body and twisted , almost like she cant hold it down?This a sign she's gonna kick the bucket?
The pic is kinda like how it is but worse now being the whole disc and very wavey. Is this normal behavior?

She's not looking good. Unfortunately, if things don't turn around soon she may not make it.
That ray is skinny as can be to begin with. All you can do is keep trying. Throw in some ghost shrimp. Try some small pieces of smelt or tilapia soaked in garlic. Toss every trick you can think of at her to reduce stress. Sometimes this is the way she goes, I think I may agree that she probably wasn't eating before.
Id say to feed with lights off. Mostly a nocturnal hunter so that makes the most sense. Eventually will come around and eat 24 hrs a day!!!
Go grab some ghost shrimp and some baby crayfish it will most likely work and get some substrate in there for her. That doesn't look like death curl to me but she is really skinny and needs to eat soon
Honest at this point if she's not eating the Black Worms or earthworms I don't think she will eat.
Lights are always off. Water is pristine. I don't know what else to do.

So she is still alive and more active but I'm not sure if she's eating. She's still a bone rack. Black worms are in take 24hrs a day I put ghost shrimp in which I think she might of eaten some. But they are 100 bucks a week to feed her those so she is not getting them. Only thing I haven't done is sand.
Is it possible she is eating but very little and not gorging? When you guys had a Ray start eating did it go nuts and smash food or was it a slow process?
