New Hystrix pup from Absolutely Fish

[mrrobxc]

Here is my new pup. First stingray ever. He was drip acclimated earlier today and he is mostly hanging out at the bottom of the tank and moving slowly.

This is my first order from Absolutely Fish and the shipping and packaging looked good. It was hard to tell how skinny the fish was from the bag. He was somewhat translucent with off white and pink tones. The guy T the shop said it was with them for a month and is feeding on blood worms and soaked krill. If anyone has done business with them before, please chime in if I should take them at their word. Guy was very nice and I had no reason to doubt him.

Here are pics

...and I know the keyhole will be eaten but I'm not tearing apart the scape to get them out...hold outs from my last stock.

Nice hystrix, but it is rather thin. What size is it? Try chopped earthworms. Your keyholes should be fine. Did you get it at a store or shipped to you?

 

[mrrobxc]

He is small. About 6 inches in diameter.

Should I wait for tomorrow before I tried to feed him? I picked up some red wriggler and have some live bkackworms I use for my discus.

 

[spotfin]

Sure, try feeding now. Try the red triggers in small pieces.

Congrats on your first ray

Nice pick up, hopefully you don't end up as bad as some of us

Absolutely fish generally has decent fish. They're prices are a little steep. I like close to them and didn't even know they shipped. I saw this Ray a couple days ago. Looked kinda skinny but it should come around with time

When you saw him, did he appear active and healthy?
