My Stingray Tank Is Very Close To Having Stingrays

[Earthgirl]

Hi there.......
Have you considered buying sting rays from a LFS?
The reason that I say this is because retics are THE PICKEST eaters. I have one and he is a slow grower, and eats what he wants, and only when he wants....
I know alot of first time ray owners want retics cause they are cheap, but they are very hard to get them eating properly.
Watch when you feed feeders. This is a "McDonalds" type meal for them. ALso with feeders you really have to watch where you get them from due to the fact that they alot of times are sick and can harm your ray..... They don't keep feeders long enough for them to find out if they have a disease or not.
Silver arrows grow very fast so make sure you are ready for that.
Good luck !
Rays are not the easiest fish to get started with, but once you get the bug, you gotta go with the "frisbees"

surely 2 scobina rays would be fine if the tank has a bigger footprint than a 6x2x2
or a smaller arowana like the jardini instead of the rays
why did you set this tank up just to upgrade it in a few months
