Cownose rays just arrived!

[Deano1956]

Do you feed them every day or every other and how much at one time?

Bump for a kick ass thread

Every day. Twice a day if I have time in the morning. Suddenly they've developed a love for silversides - they'll actually skip over the pieces of squid and scallops for the silversides, then go back to them when all the fish are eaten.

I'll take some more pics this weekend. Got me the bird/pig flu this week. Fun times.

 

[Deano1956]

Are they eating out of your hands yet? Too bad about the flu and you better watch that bug.

Which is worse... Swine flu or Cownose fever?

 

[RedDevilDon2005]

I got a fever.................and the only prescription....... is more cownose.

 

[Jabba954]

Hahaha.. The flu pretty much sucks - worse is the vicious headache.

And Deano, one ray and the horn shark will hand feed. The other ray (also the one with a few more scars) is a bit morer tentative. They all eat everyday though. And the starfish do a really good job of cleaning up after them.

Maybe they will come up with a mini-cownose, maybe I will try some starfish for cleanup if they can handle the 68 degree temp.

well, we have plenty of coldwater starfish over here in CA.
