Which Rays

[T1KARMANN]

Hi im new hear and was just wondering what type of rays people hear are keeping

 

[phoenixfire]

Spotted Caribbean Stingray, Thornback Stingray, and Blue Dot Stingray's are the most common...most people do not own these rays or any ray because of the amount of water and work they are...
1.they are extremely aggresive
2.some are venomous
3.they grow up to 2'
4.the smallest tank you could possibly have is 180 galloons...most require 300 gallons
5.they need a widley open aquarium with a sandy substrate with almost no decor
6.they only eat crustaceans, mollusks, shrimp, and squid
7.they do not take to new surroundings very well...

lol so maybe this is why nobodys responding...im sure someone has them

sorry i thought this was the freshwater oddball forum but the rays you have mentioned are salt water rays

 

[phoenixfire]

freshwater and saltwater rays have basically the same traits i have told you

Ive got a pair of motoro's.

Its generally best if people with no knowledge of a fish dont respond to topics with incorrect information

 

[phoenixfire]

i looked it up to make sure i was correct before i posted my reply...which i always do...i do have knowledge of these fish, my cuz has a 200 gallon with 2 of them...so i have learnt about these guys... sorry if i put down saltwater instead of freshwater...i didnt realize it...

yo bro hows it going.

well i have a pair of motoro at the moment but im looking to increase my collection asap.

ive been keeping rays for around 3 years now and was gutted when i sold my pair of henlei and female leo. now that the price of black rays is on the up its going to be a while before i can get back into blacks so i may just try my hand at breeding my motoro`s for now.

 

[T1KARMANN]

well if you guys do know your rays then you will know the type i have i have 2 x females and 1 x male p14

Well I did have a P. Scobina but it died due to unknown internal problems.

I'ved decided not to get another ray until I get my 10ft tank.

good man, the bigger the better as far as tanks go for me. im looking at another couple of rays in mine max.

what size tank do you have now?

also cfc what are the dimentions of your 200 gal tank? any intentions of upgradeing?

 

[Paul_MTS]

current tank is just a 210g, 60x32x24. He was doing fine in there but then suddenly took a turn for worse and stopped feeding, was just down hill from there.

It's going to be hard going without a ray for a few months though.

My tank is 66x30x24" and there is every intention of upgrading, weve just completed the purchase of a new house which comes with a 230 square foot workshop at the end of the garden which will be converted into a fish house. One of the first things going into the fish house once its ready is a 10x8x2 ray pool followed by a 8x3x3 tank for my p bass, oh yes there are some good times ahead

 

[sharp tooth]

is that your rtg in your sig? i used to have one but sold it on to upgrade.

yours looks very nice.

 

[Paul_MTS]

he is indeed! cheers
