I am new to the MFK so please do go easy on me, i've recently reinvested into a nice bit of kit to create a stingray enviroment - the fish i am looking to keep is the Potamotrygon Reticulatus - aka the Teacup Stingray.

Having been a keen fish keeper for many years i took the time to research the keeping of sting rays, through the research this has led me to invest in a larger tank and also put down a deposit on a Potamotrygon Reticulatus "Teacup" stingray.

Im not looking to find instructions on how to keep however what i would like is feedback from people who keep them letting me know what they are like to keep - would love to hear and see pics of other peoples rays. I see alot of negative comments regarding keeping rays however in my opinion they look like a great fish to keep and are a little different to the everyday tropical setups.

thanks for your time guys,

I have a 5 yr. old RTC in 180 gal. tank. He is about 2 ft. long. I have no other fish in this tank and using two Eheim 2028 canister filter. The water condition is fine and he seems to be healthy, not loosing weight and acting normal. When I drop foods, he comes and smells, but does not want to eat. I was usually feeding him raw shrimps, frozen smelt, cooked chicken (skinless, boneless breast) etc. every other day. Since he was not interested in any of these lately, I have tried other food like pellets, krill, earthworm etc, but no luck.
Please give me advice. I'm afraid of him dieing from starvation.
Thank you. ]]> Bottom Dwellers superkai http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?538880-My-5-yr-old-RTC-has-not-been-eating-for-about-a-month-Help!! bottom feeder http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?538800-bottom-feeder&goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 02:54:11 GMT what would be a good bottom feeder be for my 55 that i have my arowana in. they are just for clean up. what would be a good bottom feeder be for my 55 that i have my arowana in. they are just for clean up. ]]> Bottom Dwellers Dial92 http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?538800-bottom-feeder exquisite featherfin catfish http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?537779-exquisite-featherfin-catfish&goto=newpost Mon, 29 Apr 2013 03:40:21 GMT may not be a monster but he sure is a looker, sorry for sub-par pics he moves around a lot and bad lighting.
