sad day :( my ray died

so after 5 months my ray mysteriously died, it was very sudden, she fed last night and was acting normal and then the next morning she was swimming funny, and a few hours later had died. ive tested for everything i possibly could and all seems ok, all the other inhabitants are doing amzing, so the only conclusion i could come up with is that the piece of shrimp was contaminated. i stand by the decision i made at the start and i wont try another ray. they are to beautiful to be that disposable. so now im lost as to what to stock my tank with. currently in a 150g i have a yellow tang, a blue tang, 3 clowns and YT damsel so any suggestions? something out of the ordinary would be great

 

That sucks to hear. Do you have a reef or a FOWLR?

 

Sorry to hear about your loss... also the question.. do you have a FOWLR or a reef?

 

Sorry to hear about your ray.. they are beautiful. Hope you find something just as amazing to replace!

 

baby whale?

 

hahah... yeah ... a whale would be an interestering project.... just a question of expanding your tank!

 

im going to be the first person to own a dolphin in an aquarium

 

I used to have CA round stingrays as well. My first one lasted 5 years before it fell to my "contractor paint destruction" incident. I can understand your loss. I'm sorry.
I would strongly suggest testing for copper in your tank. Rays are EXTREMELY sensitive to copper, even trace levels can kill a ray. Rays are very delicate animals and are generally reserved for very mature tanks and advanced level aquarists. Not saying those aren't the cases here, just throwing that out there.

 

its more or less a FOWLR i just have a bunch of coralimorphs, started out with just 3 or 4 now have over a hundred haha

 

sorry to hear somethingfish.
