Hi,
I keep a pair of P. magdalenae/reticulata that have produced a total of 5 nice and healthy pups over the last year, but non of them ever started to eat and gain weight. They just slowly starved, even though i provided them with several options when i comes to food, and keept food available almost at all times.. Bloodworms, chopped earthworms, blackworms, adult artemia, daphnia, artemia naupiles, cyclops, mashed herring bits, mysis shrimp, mashed meat from market shrimp + eggs, carnivore pellet, discus bits, different types of flakes, homemade mix, and so on. I have both tried to feed different types of food seperatly, and i have tried to mash several things together.
I have tried to keep the pup in a separate tank, keep the pup with the mother in the aquarium it was born, remove the male, remove both parents.. I have spent so mutch time trying to succeed, but i have not ben able to do that.
Now just recently the female gave birth to 3 more pups (her biggest litter). I have seen enough death, so i need to ask for some advice. Anyone have had success with raising pups with type of stingray, please speak up.
I would realy like to get my hand on some source of live food, but i can`t find anyone in Norway that can provide me with this. And most foreign online stores won`t ship overseas. LIVE tubifex is what i think would do the trick, but i can`t seem to find any. Any tips where i can get this?
