Most fragile ray?

[Paul_MTS]

Eek! After seeing that i can understand why my flower is touch harder!

I'ved come from Histrix, Scobina, Motoro and most recent is a young Schroedi, only bought it as Aqualog rated it as easy!

Aqualog ain't right at this point ( and I disagree on a lot of other points in this book). Never the less most rays are when you have them feeding ok fearly easy and hard.

I forgot about the Castexi group

imo they would fall between Back rays and Motoros for general hardiness

Another one I schould put them also on the firts or second place are the Himantura Oxyrhynchus the Asian freshwaterstingray. I have seen some of them all in a very pore condition.

#1 Cejas and Chinas

#2 Antennas

#3 Schroederi Flowers

#4 Tigers

#5 Retics and Histrix

#6 Black rays

#7 Motoros


#1 hardest
#7 easiest

of course, this depends completely on who is acclimating them and how they were caught and shipped and if you are looking after them correctly

I dont know much so Ill take his word for it!

Have to disagree. Well adapted Tigers stop eating with no reason what so ever.And are dead in 3 or 4 days. I'v seen this in several tanks. But I think Davids list covers it all.

That can happen with most rays though Frank. I've heard of several different speices of rays dying like that, all of them long term captives.

Ok thats a first for me. I'm speeking of my own experiance and saw it only with Tigers. I've heard of a hystrix totally healthy swimming up the tank and dropped dead on the spot. Old age, hard attack?? Nobody knows.

Than you for show your idea..I will take a note for this thing....

No such thing as a fragile ray if you buy it from David W, Bullet proof as they come

I never had any problems with Antenna rays.. It's just hard getting them to eat, they have very picky dietary needs. Maybe I just got lucky?

Never messed with the Cejas and Chinas, I would say there are only a small handful of people who could properly house them, let alone keep them alive to reach 6ft+ adulthood..

well, that's probably what makes them fragile.
