breeding rays

[unknownuza13]

What would a minimum size tank be to breed rays on average I know they vary in size. Or would the better route definately to use a pond of some kind. Also do they need multiple partners to choose from like some fish? THanks guys.

where is brother tyson?

he is the famous ray keeper cum breeder in sg!

paging tyson to come in and share his knowledge about them more..

a rough ruke of thumb might be.....a tank at least as wide as the ray is long, including tail, and at least 4 times that for the length...
pools are cheapest by far. Tanks are a nicer display in your living room.
Worry first about keeping rays happy and healthy, then breeding is a biological imperative

I agree David I need to first worry about keeping rays healthy and it will fall into place.

A 180 seems small however it has been done. Ron Oldfeld just wrote the breeding article in TFH and he had his in a 8' x 2' x 20" vat.

Mine are in a 450 gallon pond and it seems to work fine for them.
