Stingray at a 45 degree position.

[Zhuoyuting]

Hi all,

This particular rays of my always tend to stay at the side of the wall near the over flow system.

After meals it will go back to that position.
(Appetite not very good one whole piece of MP)

It been close to 3 months, 24/7 it will be at that position, due to the prolong bending on the disc, stretch start to appear on the body. From the pic you would see the bend on the left side now stretch mark appear when it flat and hunting for food.
Which causes me to worry.



Have anyone encounter this? I have another female ray always gliding and exploring well only this male stationary at that particular position.

It a rare occurrence hence I seek advice from bros and sis here.

Let me know what are your pointers cheers.

What your recommended deworm medication?

I have a ray with such symptoms previously when I remove another ray away. I think she might be stress out being alone (in my case).
Took a few weeks for her to start behaving normally.
