Hello all!
Details:
I have two stingrays, Pico (5” BD) & Pine (5.5” Pearl). They live in a 130 Gallon aquarium (will either be upgraded as they grow or they will be rehomed) with a fire eel (12”), 2 Green phantom plecos (~4-5”), and a flowerhorn (~4.5). Water changes are 50-75% every 5 days, 40 gallon sump filtration (170 gallon system).
Nitrate: 10ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Ammonia: 0ppm
I had bought a needle nose gar 2 days ago but it passed away this morning (looks like the flowerhorn decided to take issue overnight).
Issue:
This morning when I came down to feed (about 20 mins ago) they were both buried in the sand, not too abnormal. However when I offered food (I tweaser feed) neither would eat. Should I be concerned? They have been eating very well.
Update:
as I was writing this post Pico popped up and is cruising the tank picking up food (I dumped their food in to sit on the ground). Pine is still burried.
edit: Pico just buried again after cruising for a bit.
