redcross Ray not eating after transfer.

Hi guys, I was wondering is it normal for stingrays to fast after transport? I've got a 14" black ray which is now not eating. She used to eat very aggressively, until I shifted house a couple of days back. Current tank she's in is pretty much established and housing my red arowana. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Possible. Could be stressed. How are the water parameters compared to the old tank?

ammonia and nitrite 0ppm. nitrate 20ppm. anyway, she starting to eat now. not as greedy as before, but at least it's a start.
