[YSCagro]

Hi guys,
I need some help here... I have just bought quite a number of rays and going to transfer to my place anytime soon. The problem is, there are few 4 big motoro roughly about 24 inch diameter each... Can pro out there give me some idea how to transfer this big monster??? Any idea or recommend is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!!

trap them in a large plastic bin or tote

yeah i was thinking the same. look into getting those "udner-the-bed" storage containers. lure them into the box take out some water to lift it out and fill it back up just a bit.

good luck

i use a huge plastic bag,direct the fish in and lift the bag out.

its much easyier to lift out a bag vs lifting out a storage container.

thanks for the idea....any other idea out there???
i need more idea and see which 1 is suitable...
because, for example, using the way like weene said, i need a lot of man power to help me on that day....so im worry if not enough ppl, what other method i can use

i am a skinny girl that can move them by the "bag"method very easily

but the plastic bag wide must be wider than 24"???
wont the rays broke the bag???
need to cut the spike?

I collected a 22" mantilla a few week's ago and put it in a huge poly box, it was fine for 3 hours.

How long is the jorney?? Will the jorney be by road?
