Did you take just the water from the old tank to the new? If so, then your new tank is going to have to cycle still. Bacteria doesn't live in the tank water, just on physical surfaces (filter media, substrate, etc...), so if you only transferred the water then your new tank has no bacteria to keep things clean. I would recommend getting the ray and any other fish you may have in that tank to a friend's tank or somewhere safe until your new tank has cycled, otherwise you're going to have some deaths in the tank. If you can't transfer the fish, then make sure you are doing multiple (2 or 3) small water changes per day to keep the levels down, because you're the only filter your tank has got.
