Wild Ray eating problem

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Once mine ate goast shrimp it also started eating worms. I used the goast shrimp just long enough to make sure it was eating something else.
 
In my experience they don't graze at all, maybe the first day or two after illness or stress they may only eat a bit, but it usually doesn't take them long to get to their regular appetite, which is vacuum mode. $100 a week is a stiff bill man, those are the kind of expenses people new to the hobby (not you obviously) never take into account when they start caring for monsters or fish worth more than $10.

Well I'm surprised she's still ticking, so asking looks like her hips gonna pop through her skin.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of not keeping her isolated but also I was expecting half the size Ray which I could have probably isolated.

I know the Ray hobby is not cheap but honestly I don't want to have a 500 dollar Motoro. But maybe better that then no Motoro
 
I just saw this thread. Man that rays is in bad shape. May be to far gone. Do you still have meds in the tank? How often you doing water changes? What kind of meds?
If it affected your CB pup are you sure the tank parameters are perfect? Might not hurt to make sure your not having ph fluctuations or the meds didn't mess with bio! I'm not saying your tank isn't perfect but make sure!!
Kee water clean by small daily h20 changes.
I hope it makes it!
Keep at it its all you can do!

Thanks man, on meds in the tank anymore. My water is perfect always is not being cocky it really is loads of Bio also. My male is completely perfect smashing food.

It might be my mind playing tricks on me but she looks better tonight, like she put on weight???? I used Prazi. She really dosnt like me though. When I pop the lights on to see her she puffs up.

Yup, mine did this too.
Came from the fish shop feeding them shrimp.
But they switched to worms with no problems.
