California stingray infection HELP!!

[ilovefishys18]

Hi, I have 2 California round stingrays. I checked on them this morning and realized something was wrong with my male. I have been searching all day to find a answer and can't. I have talked to my friend who is a zoologist and has friends that work with stingrays. We ruled out water quality from being moved. Anything will help.

What’s the tank size? What’s your readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? Are there any rocks or sharp objects in the tank? Tankmates?
