2 stingrays i saved from a horrible fish store here

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They're in rough shape. Good luck. Why did you put them in with healthy fish? With rays that skinny from an LFS, I would assume wc with complimentary parasites.
 
They had them at their store for about 6 months, they came in healty but they just quit feeding them or taking care of them at all for that matter. The water was so green we had to move a net around to get them to the front of the tank so we could see them to catch them. They came from the same place our big female came from so yea they were healthy. We've had them for about a month now and they're eating shrimp, scallops, nightcrawlers and blood worms, and the occasional angelfish that they catch while swimming up the glass lol. I'm raising angels to get big for our other fish store here and he didn't think that the rays would get them haha.
 
Nice. Best of luck to ya with them. They're going to look great when they fatten up. I like the pattern on the one in the first pic. :)
 
Nice save heather and now your ray has some company. You should report the lfs to the authorities.

Yea you should see the other fish in there!!!! They all look like swimming skeletons. i guess she decided to just let them all go to hell and just sell puppies, that im sure are from a puppy mill. we got one from there over a year ago and she was sick and everyone else we know who gets a puppy from her are always sick. but we couldnt stand to see those rays goin down hill like that so we had to save them! :) And yes the other ray loves having them in there with her. we lost her other little friend a while ago and she was never the same after he was gone but with them she's so happy, she also loves all the new room to play in :)
 
WOW!!! I measured these rays I saved and they have already grown almost a half inch in a little over a month!!!! They didnt grow at all while they we're at the pet store
