HI guys

this is the best site for fishkeepers because alot of people with good knowledge and people who help answer questions we noobs have..

I however did research before buying the motoro for a couple of weeks ..

my first problem is i am having trouble cleaning my tank what is the best method to clean sand. When i syphon my tank i end up sucking alot of sand out.... I have a 125 gallon tank with a baby tsnXrtc, paroon sahrk, and a baby motoro...

my second problem is my motoro is 4 inches and i am having trouble feeding him what should he eat and how much...


Thanks guys i appreciate your help

congrats on the ray my way of cleaning is to rake the sand slowly so the water gets nice and cloudy then suck the water out you will loose sand but not as much this usually works also the rays kind of do alot of mixing themselves from time to time lol

Just don't stick the syphon too deep into the sand and don't leave it there too long and feed it black worms for now.

earthworms and bloodworms is what i would feed wild rays, then get them on market shrimp
