Default Mama Motoro Not Eating

Hi all, would like your opinion. I have 4 rays. 3 of them are acting normal and eating etc. The biggest (mama motoro) doesn't seem to be eating. I've done WC. Other than WC, what else can I do for the ray?

Update: Day 6 of medication and my motoro is still not eating. Been dosing melafix and pimafix.

Any other ideas?

Very tacky solution.
Is your mama ray swimming around or parked one area?
Did you notice the gills going super slow or faster than normal?

I have a female ray that fasted for few months until I ve given up hope except wc everyday and one day suddenly regained her appetite.

Another male stopped eating and die within a week (separate incident).
Try to notice whether any weird looking stringy feces inside your fgt.
In both my case, the stringy feces was found. I suspect its internal infection.

Hey, she tends to park in one area most of the day even before she was sick. Don't really see the faeces. Think the filter gets to it quite fast.

Since melafix and primafix is for external treatment and its not working.…
If you are really concern, you might wanna try deworming.
