Bio load is actually ok considering the tank size. But I would suggest to forgo the CC and just dose bi carb. Maintain PH 7 as much as possible.

I would assume of course you possess all the required knowledge of fish keeping and water maintenance. You've been keeping exotic aros for so long.

Oh.. Use a good water conditioner and don't scrimp on feed quality.
Thanks bro.. I am very lazy... Aros no need take care.. So ok . For ray... Really ma fan... Some more i travel often...everytime need to see remote camera to see ray ok or not.. Worry people got feed or not.. Worry people got remove uneaten food or not.. Haiz

To be very honest. If you can't afford the time. Don't keep rays. Especially pups like these. At this stage they need the most care. Better you let just one really nice adult showcase quality which requires less attention.

Btw, 3 mp for 6 rays is quite low bioload, your sump should be able to take it (if its well maintained).
and I would think that you might have under fed them actually.....

I fed them medium tiger prawns. So each take 1/2 a prawn. Of course some bigger ones will take more.

It has been awhile but today they finished the food. I added salt yesterday and off the tank light. Could light snd salt be the reason for the poor appetite?
