I have a friend who works at the LFS who does it. Just an update- no interest in food but otherwise normal behavior.

Hi All, Last night, I discovered that my ray (large female motoro) appeared to have excess slime coat that was coming off. She lives in a 300 gallon Rubbermaid pond with 3 comets. She was eating normally when I noticed this and the water was: Trace of ammonia No2-0 No3-50 ppm Ph-7.6-7.8...

Alright, all is good and she's eating! Thanks everyone! :) Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Great. I'm not even going to attempt feeding for a few days... I'm assuming its ok she has spent almost the whole time buried. Also, the ammonia's up to .5. Should I let it run its course being that its a new tank or should I do a waterchange? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Alright, she is safely in her new tank! But the barb got stuck on the new so I cut some off with barbeque tongs and a razor blade. Should I worry or just wait for it to fall off? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

great. so I have and am planning on using a 75 gallon rubbermaid stock tank to move the ray. since i wont be able to fill it all the way because it would be too much to carry, should i find something else? And in terms of the netting, i'm planning on using a big net and zip tying it so its flat...

Hello, In the coming days, I will be moving. My ray is also getting an upgrade from her 185 to something with over twice the footprint. The problem is that I don't know how to safely move her. Here are some of the interesting parts: -16" ray with 2 massive barbs -20 minute drive -water chem...

It's funny, today I was looking at my 350 gallon stock tanks thinking 'these are TINY'.

Check for ammonia. My ray always does weird things it it gets above .1ppm for more than a day. also possible its just hungry or curious. cute one btw.

no jd expert, but i'd say 9 easy ;)

Hello, I've got a beautiful 16" potamotrygon motoro ray in a 185 gal tank and am having some frustrating water chemistry problems. I've had old tank syndrome in here before, but never this bad. It has an 800gph sump and a reaction 4 canister filter. pH: 7.5 (usually on the higher side)...

same here. If you ever get trouble with "old tank syndrome" or just ammonia in general I've found it helps to turn it off because it can kill nitrifying bacteria floating around.

stress coat is a water conditioner that can help rebuild the slime coat. This can reduce unnecessary diffusion, supposedly reducing stress by 40%. It works wonders with rays, and has helped my silver and jardini during moves. I would recommend finding the source of stress first. Unless there is...

Congratulations. Nice fish! My big silver will eat hikari floating carnivore sticks without fail. look forward to some updates :)

I've never had any problem whatsoever with rays, plecos, or nocturnal armored catfish. The cats aren't the most exciting, but those are all as safe as they get just so theyre well fed.

they're not pretty but XXL agricultural stock tanks make great grow out tanks. cheap too. some are even big enough to house a breeding pair. just FYI.

I've seen ammonia spikes cause "burns" like that.

My silver has had both of it's barbels grow completely back a few times after moving damage, etc.

Alright, Ammonia has been 0 since I posted. Tarpon isn't bugging her. The tail doesn't look any better, if anything a little worse. Any ideas? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Hello, My 12" female motoro appears to have some sort of infection in her tail and I'd like some help treating it. Here's some info: 185 gallon take with 35 gallon sump and canister filter. pH 7.6 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20-30 Ammonia .1 (did a 40% waterchange to lower) I recently moved a 9"...
