Mantilla

[batang_mcdo]

hi,

just thought i'd share some pictures of my mantilla ray.
Does she look skinny? i've been feeding her only once a day.
she does take massivore so i occasionally drop 2-3 pcs besides her meal of fish or shrimps.

any tips?










thanks.

Beautiful pattern...I would feed 2x per day.

thanks she is a bit skinny. I try to feed her a few massivore during the morning and fish at night. though i sometimes have a hard time getting food to her as the arowana likes to gobble up all the food i drop . and he likes to dive down after food

Beautiful baby you have there

Just a sugestion... I also have one of my baby rays with my Super red, 2 severums and 2 datnoids so what I started doing was feeding the baby with a long tank tweezers and droping his piece of fish just in front of him
At first he was a little scared but soon realized the tweezers meant food and pounced on it straight away and now i dont even use the tweezers because he associates my hand with food and comes runing

thanks! will try to get tweezers, but i think my arowana will also go for the food at the end of the tweezer, he eats like a pig

Use a smaller diameter PVC pipe to get the food in front of her...

Am I the only one worried about the size of the aro in the tank?

 

[batang_mcdo]

will use a PVC

This aro is quite friendly and does not go after tankmates .
I've had him for almost 10 years now.

can even pet him when he is not that Hungry lol otherwise he'll think my hands are food.


btw will severums be good tankmate for the ray?

 

[Hendre]

I don't think you could fit more in that tank, that aro looks pretty cramped

i have other 8 footer tanks which i can move her to if she does outgrow this one
