My First Ray

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The hard part is mixing up there diet.
 
I have had mine for almost a month now and they won't eat the girl i have ate a tiny piece of night crawler but the boy hasn't eaten :(.........are you thinking about getting other types of rays?
 
ive read about all their live foods and stuff, but is there anything like a pellet that they can eat? atm shes had like 12 shrimp and about a 1/4 ounce of black worms

id love to get more but the only reason i was even able to get this set was that the tank was in the penny saver with everything included (filters, stand and everything i could need, i did upgrade the filter though and its running enough filters for a 300g tank) the guy said it was a 125g tank but i was looking at the tanks at the store today and they just looked smaller, so ill be taking a tape measure to it soon

Find out what it ate before you bought it. I have starved mine for a month or so before it started to eat shrimp.

The people didn't know what they were eating when i called and i have tried night crawlers(pieces and whole little ones), blood worms, freeze dried krill, raw shrimp pieces, cooked shrimp

black worms, that and blood worms was the only thing that my ray would eat.

craigslist has cheap tanks with everything included.
 
yea but theres really no more room for anything else without getting rid of something we already have so ill talk the tape measure to this one and if its 150 or more (it was a noticable size difference from the 125s at the store) shell be the only fish in there and get spoiled and if its 125 ill look for the biggest cheapest tank i can get and try to get another opposing sex ray and attempt to breed
 
my cousin finally sent me the pic she took, here it is, ill have better ones tomorrow
