OK, now comes an interesting product that was recommended by farms that specializes in keeping rays in both Penang and Taiwan. When I first heard of it, I thought, what the hell is this??!!! But it comes strongly recommended. And after trying on some of my rays, it is damn good. It is call Bei Hai Dau (Chinese translation for Hokkaido
dont ask
I also dunno why) the packaging is really really bad, it makes you feel that it is a lousy product. Seriously, if its not because of me asking a lot of are you sure??!!! and getting a lot of assurance, I will never look at it, let alone buy it (one lesson learnt here). It comes in A, B, C type and they are not cheap. A is a liquid form and it cost S$78, B and C are in powder form and cost S$36 and S$24 respectively. They cure all sorts of problems that your ray could encounter. After reading what that was written on them, I was more confident of this product, as it seems to know what rays are susceptible to. A lousy product will just say cure all disease right? Here is what is written on them:
