After a long Winter..A Ray of sunshine..
- Thread starter DB junkie
- Start date
Jason - Yes these are the rest of the trio. This is the aurnry bunch that forced the other off food. The other is doing great now and has been crawler free for a week now. Will be time for a reunion very soon.
Keepin- they are very active. To the point were it's irritating the wolf. It looks like there was food introduced but that's just the way they are all the time. I wasn't lying when I said it's impossible to get pics.... lol This is a factor when they come in skinny. Feeding once or twice a day isn't enouh to pack weight on. They are so active I think they burn a couple meals a day just swimming. I had to feed as much as they'd eat 3 times a day to get them to start putting on weight. Still to this day they do not swell up like my Marbles or muts. Also have smaller mouths. Even at 9-10 inches I chop 41-60 shrimp into about 5 pieces for them.
E- Nice to see you again!!! lol Thank you!
Mike- This is thier QT tank. I figured I'd pull the airline tubing when I move them out of QT. I added the wolf after the big rays roughed him up, no room anywhere else. I added the mutt after they were beefed up from thier journey to see if it would help break them off crawlers quicker and it seemed to work really well. That mutt is turning out nice, but if you think he's nice you should see the other one, probobly the nicest ray I've ever had....
Will likely be moving them all back together in a 6X3 where they will reside till they are big enough to enjoy the 750. Can't wait to see them pacing 10' back and forth, and hopefully will produce pure and hybrid pups for us.

Nice Falstexi,
Thanks Shadow! Did you see the result of mixing Falks and blacks? The one I saw was black with gold cheerios! The girl in the beginning of this thread has been hanging out with an even nicer mutt for a few weeks now. They really seem to be hitting it off.....
Is there a friggin Chihuaha yipping in here??? Kinda sounds like it but I don't see one?
Thank you!
This tank is used for QT and pups. Tank itself is a 4X3X1.5 150 (I think) The filter tank is 55 gallons and the buffer tank is 90 gallons. Definetly just a temp home till I could get weight on them, then break them to the food I feed here. They'll likely be getting moved this weekend to a 6X3 footprint on a 500 gallon system.
Awesome setup(s). Im enev more envious now, hopefully ill be joing the ridiculously awesome and huge tank club in another couple of months. And please don't stop the updates. With certain people you have to ignore them, anything else just fuels the fire. More power to ya.

I really appreciate that man......
MFK has an ignore function that blocks posts from the ignored user. I've chose to take this route. I've learned a lot from this place and made several friends here. Not gonna bail just cause I've got a troll following me around in threads causing problems. Not even sure why, usually trolls are just jealous people that want to feel like they have nicer fish then everyone else. Like it's some sort of contest. Too narrowminded to see the big picture which is fish we can all enjoy for a long time, which means figuring how to obtain and breed them.
The ignore button is an amazing thing, Been rather interesting on the ray forum lately to say the least
