Hey guys I hope this is the right place to post but I’m not sure what to do and need some advice, I’ll give my water parameters first,
Ph-7
Ammonia-0
Nitrates-
Nitrites-

My water is very hard as well but I’ve kepted rays in it for over 4 years now
I’ve had my both my adult rays have their first litters a week apart about 2 months ago, 7 from my motoro super spot and 3 from my BD thousand island - father has breed before and is thousand island

all 7 from the motoro are perfect zero problems, but one of the BDs has gotten bloat by the seems of it and is not eating but still getting fatter, I’ve been checking my water and it’s staying the same as normal, my setup is over 5000L with the grow out tank being connected to the main pond so they never left the water they were born in.

I’m just wondering is it something I’ve done or could it possibly be something had gone wrong during development, at first was eating like a champion but with 10 pups I couldn’t keep track what poop came from who. I’m almost 100% sure it’s not pooping now and is starting to struggling to balance, I’m just wondering if there anything I can do to help
thanks

Can move to a quarantine tank add some epsom salt for now. That’s my only suggestion. Hope this is just transient for the ray.
