Breeding rays 101

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
agree, feeder from time to time helps keep them happy. that way its like being in the wild for them. Just feeding them worms, shrimp, etx is ok, but its healthy for them to hunt also. I usually (try once a week, but if not every other week) throw feerer fish in with them to hunt. I always every other day throw Ghost shrimp in with them.. that they have fun with...
The rain fall talk is also good. I dont see ery many people say that on ehre when talking with new ray keepers. I myself have done this at least twice a week for the past years after hearing about it. I found a great way to do it. All my tanks are glass topped. So I always have a powerhead near the top corner of the tanks I have. When I want it to rain, I just turn my power head upword and let the water spray on the glass and then it rains thew out the tank. Works well.
 
lol this is going to sound weired, but here goes.....i have noticed in mine < FW Atlantic> that when she is in "season" it is much like a dog "the female area" becomes red and slightly swollen...

i think that once they become sexually mature... yes they would be able to breed with one another. it happens alot in the wild so why would it be diffrent in a tank???:screwy:
