    Rubbermaid

    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?

    Where did you guys

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

    Silver Arowana acting very strange please help!!

    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...

    Rock and a hard place

    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?

    240 Gallon Build thread

    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...

    Can you mix species of rays? Is there a male to female ratio?

    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...

    Sick motoro stingray

    I've had my stingray for a little over one month. He's been acting fine up until a few days ago. He hangs out by the filter pump pretty much all day as of recently. He normally swims all around the tank or stays by the heater. A week ago I notice some fungus on his barb, but it has not been...

    Marble and Mini Marble Difference

    Is there such thing as a mini marble? Are all marbles considered mini marbles? If not, what is the size difference between the two? Thanks in advance.

    New Ray tank, Marble male, Hybrid female

    Hey Guys, I was a member of MFK years ago, got into saltwater for awhile and my urge to keep and breed freshwater rays got the best of me. I just finished my tank and here are some pics. I have no idea what my Hybrid is mixed with, and insight would be great!

    Building a tank around 320 gallons. sorry American haha Will have a 75 gallon K1 Fluidized Sump. Anyway I am going the Motoro Ray route, but I'm also getting a ripshaw catfish which I've heard grow slower then stingrays. Which should I buy first to make it safest. At the smaller size I would...

    Freshwater Stingray

    Hey guys, I recently got baby motoro stingray like a week back. He's hardly eating and is housed with an albino bichir and an Asian arowana. He's housed in a 180 gal. The ph, nitrites, ammonia and nitrates are perfect. The bottom substrate is white sand. This morning I noticed a mark on his...

I have had him now for 5 days, the ray is eating bloodworms and slivers of shrimp. The ray is only about 5 inches across, eats well...

    looking for some rays for my tank.....

    Ok he is the short story..... not sure that many remember me here but used to be very very active in this forum. Have had rays for the last 15 years. Was one of the first to ever breed retic rays (17 pups shipped nationally). At one point we had 9 adult rays in our 600 gallon tank. Over the...

    Low appetite

    Are there some rays that just don't pig out? All my rays are pigs except for 1. She just eats enough. I've had her for over 4 months and her appetite hasn't really increase. she is not as active like my other rays. is that a possible reason?
