sad to say but two of my stingrays have caught the velvet fungus....one of them(a female motoro) looks really sick and was bleeding over her body, the second (male motoro) has white patches over its left and right side. i was told by a trusted aquarium shop owner to add some aquarium salt and aquaclear and hope for the best (tho he also told me theres only a slim chance of recovery)....now, six hours later, the light bleeding\red sore has stopped and is covered with some white slime...but she looks a little better.....what is velvet?...how did i get it(no new fish)? any solutions? any preventatives? i was told it might even come from the store bought frozen krill or silversides.
