Alex Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks Ged, the little cute face of stingray pups is pretty hard to say no to. My other half doesn't even like me selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The parents are in a 8x3x2.5Well done Alex,quite a few this time.Still haven't got any replacements to the ones I lost but might be soon.Cheers GlenShould get back into it. I lost one of my females, appears that one of the pups became stuck when she was giving birth, bit sad but you get that. I'm moving away from TB's getting more into tangs. So I may need your help with some stocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damoq Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 What are the preferred water parameters for keeping rays?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 I use straight dechlorinated tap water. The trick is consistency. I don't mess around with things like pH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 The trick is laziness. Careful Alex - people gonna catch on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 It's an absolute pup factory!I'm not sure why anyone would mess around with chemicals when it isn't needed. If the rays are being kept in an acidic environment slowly get them used to your tap water. Makes water changes easier (especially large scale ones), cheaper and removes any human error when mixing chems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be something special, stay tuned. How much do you have to feed the parents Alex? Also, are all those pups from one litter or multiple?Feed them heaps, hard to say exactly how much. Mainly hikari carnivore and chopped up frozen foods (whitebait, squid and fish fillets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Mate - have you seen a recent 'River Monsters' episode where the bloke teases a little motoro in to stabbing a leg of beef?Unreal. They are incredibly precise with their stabbing, I always assumed they would just flail around and be lucky to catch something.Is it weird though that it made me want them more?
