Hello,
I have three new motoro stingrays. I have two males and one female. Right now the two males are in a 400 gallon tank and are doing very well - active! The female is in a 180 gallon tank (both with correct sand substrate) but is hiding mostly and eats sometimes and doesn't eat other times. I have a couple questions/concerns:
1) The water quality conditions are the same with both tanks - all normal with one exception - the Nitrate is high (about 80). I did a 50% water change two days ago and will most likely do another today. I also bought a product to reduce the Nitrate and it should arrive today. Is this a big concern and what else should I do?
2) When I bought all the rays a couple weeks ago a male and female were living together in the same tank and the other male was separate. I would like to breed the rays. What advice does anyone have... can I put the female in with both males in the large tank or should I switch the male and female so there is only one male and one female in the 400 gallon tank?
The rays are young - about seven inches at this point.
Thanks
