    Default Stingray Help...***PICS!!***

    Has anyone had experience with heater burn on Stingrays?

    I think mine has gotten to close to my heaters in the past couple days.

    Yes I know I am to blame for not having guards. Where Can I find just the guards?

    The one spot looks very white. The other still looks like a minor burn. ( You can still see the pattern).

    Maybe pics are in order.

    thx ben

    I think just make sure the water is as clean as you can keep it and it should heal fine, might end up with a scar from it.

    yes, before my Stingrays always like close to the heaters , and then the body get a black spot ! because their skin very Sensitive, so after i go pet shop get the heater holder for the heater! that will work! so just go get the heater holder will be fine ur Stingrays !
    another thing is keep ur water clean ! or add Salt okie! dont drop medication , until they very sick, they are sensitive!

    Clean water and salt! I had this happen to one before and it's taking a long time to heal but its healing! Not sure yet if the scar will stay or go as it's coloring all back in a little at a time. The time frame between the picture is December 18 to February 5th.

    I would be careful on the melafix. I was treating an eye problem with an Armatus in a tank with some rays. I ended up losing two rays before I realized it was probably the Melafix and Primafix. They say Melafix is safe for rays but for myself I won't be using either products in my ray tanks.
