Today I have experienced the worst feeling I could have ever imagined in this hobby. I came home today to find my largest/first/favorite Motoro dead. The way he died is what makes it even worse, he got a catfish stuck in his throat, a fish that had been in the tank with him since they were both babies! While I know that stingrays will eat anything they can get their mouths on, the thought never crossed my mind. I hand feed him every day and he was always fat and happy, so it makes me wonder if it was a food thing or territory, either way it blows and that will be the last time any of my rays have catfish as tank mates. RIP Gizmo

That sucks man.
I had a 6" female retic who would swim to the surface to get food but one of my geophagus nipped her and the bite got infected and she passed away.

I appreciate all your condolences, it sucks! I feel like I have to start all over and as you all know, that's a crap shoot. I felt lucky to have a fat and healthy ray, I hope that luck continues with the next male I get. Thanks again!
