Ged 107 Posted April 21, 2013 Fantastic Alex. Do you think I can get away with it telling my wife that I am bringing home some pups? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 147 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damoq 2 Posted April 23, 2013 What are the preferred water parameters for keeping rays?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 147 Posted April 23, 2013 I use straight dechlorinated tap water. The trick is consistency. I don't mess around with things like pH. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ducksta 87 Posted April 23, 2013 The trick is laziness. Careful Alex - people gonna catch on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 147 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damoq 2 Posted April 24, 2013 makes sense! Its obviously working! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efc01 0 Posted April 24, 2013 That tank would be great for feather fins!Bring back the descampsi as well Alex!But agree with everyone, awesome rays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow 11 Posted April 24, 2013 How much do you have to feed the parents Alex? Also, are all those pups from one litter or multiple? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 147 Posted April 24, 2013 That tank would be great for feather fins!Bring back the descampsi as well Alex!But agree with everyone, awesome raysI have something huge that is going to be unveiled later this year. 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ducksta 87 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?
