Mysterious lump on my ray
Just noticed a lump developed overnight on the back of my stingray a moment ago. It looks like simple nonspecific edema. I have never observed anything like this before, and would really like to know what it is.
Additional information: He is fed purely on mp although he takes sw as treat. The only other fish in the aquarium are 1x HBRTG, 1x Tigrinus & 2x IT. I've a UVC 'On' 24/7. Water conditions are as follows: Ammonia- 0ppm Nitrite- 0ppm Nitrate- 50ppm pH- 6.5 to 6.8 What could have caused it? Any remedy? Would really appreciate all inputs. Thank You! Here's a pic taken a moment ago. |

Darren, sad to see this.. sorry cant be of any help. Maybe more exp ray keepers can give some advice.
But imo dun think it's due to water parameters or diet. Hope it recovers asap. |

Thanks Bro.
Have not observe any abnormality under the disc. I've performed wc with dissolved salt & Upz temperature to 31 deg C yesterday thus no feeding since. Will update it's progress later. Thanks Bro. |
