stingray

I’ve been keeping monster fish and have a huge tank for years now Arowana, Gars, Bass, stingrays etc but have now sold as I’m moving house. I’m thinking of using this tank now as a community tank with small fish what doesn’t come with some of the stress these big fish sometimes give. My...

Looking for some advice please. I have 2 retics 3 and 4 years old that have really slowed down considerably on their eating. Of course they are retics so what they eat is very limited. Extremely picky eaters. I have 3 other rays in the same tank that still seem to be eating quite well. 1 retic...

I have some final numbers I wanted to run by you guys. I have a 220 I am setting up with a 55 that I'm turning into a wet sump. I have a jaebo dcs-1200 return pump in route. I know it's not the best pump but if it gets me through a year I'll be happy. My overflow is a eclipse L from...

My male rsetic trying to mate with my female hystrix. Kind of hoping he does get the job done. Would love to see how the pups turn out.

I've had my LFS on the lookout for a ray for a while now. He messaged me today saying his supplier got in "Colombian Hystrix." I'm incredibly skeptical but told him to give them a try. My question is if these show up and are actually orbs, how long does it take them to get bigger than 20"...

New Thai hybrid I got from Scott Yonkers!!

Hi. In my research to add my first freshwater ray to my household of fish I have learned quite a bit. I have decided that I want to find a histrix ray, and have subsequently been introduced to the CITES list that I am still trying to interpret. From what I can tell these rays are possible...

We acquired this gorgeous colony of Royal Galaxy P14 some time ago. I've had them under close watch. They have started to develop and show their full potential, I can't believe my eyes the way they have matured. Decided it was time to share with everyone. P14 have long been one of the...

I know Stingrays produce a lot of waste. Way more then most fish I'm trying to figure out how much so I know how much K1 they need. For those who know more then I do or use K1 what is your recommendation? Is there a way to calculate and thank you for your time.

Hi, I want to set up a ray tank and have a few questions for which I am having trouble finding answers. I have been keeping fish for about three years now and decided I want to set up a ray tank finally. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching videos and decided I want to start with a...

It's a Ray tank what would you guys do for filtration? Already have K1 media so would like to incorporate that somehow.

I plan on buying a rubbermaid foam tank to use as my sump. I have K1 media I plan on using as the bio filter. My question is what could i use for mechanical filtration and do you think there is anyway i could add a wet dry to it?

Buy your stingrays or where do you recommend? I've heard of Tangled Up in Cichlids and the great reviews. Anywhere else?

Hello, this is my first post on mfk. I purchased a 5" silver arowana yesterday and put him in with my 7" diameter motoro stingray and the arowana has been acting very strange. He is not swimming all the time. When I go near the tank, he will just hide and stay still on the bottom of the tank...

I'm getting a 75 gallon tank Thursday and I'm not sure what to put in it. It will eventually be the sump in my tank I'm completely at the end of summer. (7ft x 3ft x 2ft tall) I don't really have any filtration on me but could I use it as a grow out for a Motoro and Ripshaw Catfish? Opinions?

Hi all I'm back, it's been ages I know, I think the last post I did was back in 2013 or 2014, I was originally going to have a 12x3x3 all glass aquarium built on site, now I've gone for 11x4x2.5.

So I decided to set up a 240 gallon I've had in storage for 8months or so now. Thread will be slow as I am starting a new job, due to saving up for a much larger tank for the new house. Don't wanna talk to much about that right now, but it will be around 3 times more gallon age than this...

Have the opportunity to build a pretty big tank with a custom stand. 300+ gallons. 7' by 3' any suggestions on where to put overflows for sump and other recommendations you would like done or would do to yours if you could? I should mention it will be glass too. The sump I'm building will be a...

Tried searching for this info but didn't really find anything. I thought I would ask some ray keepers on here. My first question is can you mix ray species? The exact species I'm looking at are retics and hystrix. Also is there a male to female ratio that works best? I've seen a lot of people...
