Your efforts have paid off. Good job! Btw care to share what caused it to be in its initial condition when you first saw it & how you healed it back to health?

Thanks bro, I guess its due to stress when I saw it at LFS or the owner is trying to convert it to mp. I mixed it with my 2 other rays hoping that it will have the "monkey see - monkey do" mentality but I really have to over feed.

I tried live GS and torsats. The fishes (including my aros) in my tank whacked like no tomorrow leaving this pup nothing to eat. It's really slow in eating and hunting and not really stable in his new environment.

So decided to do up a partition to isolate it and pump it up with live GS. Followed by dead fresh GS then frozen GS. Bringing it back to shape is my priority now then slowly try to convert to mp.

First 3 nights is kinda sleepless for me. Thinking of how to make the partition (partition got to be able to withstand the aros' knockings and maintain the flow of water in my tank) and worried if it still don't eat.
