Don’t think there’s a time set but once it’s comfortable and stable. Should be quick if it’s not stressed and ur water quality is good and stable.
New Stingray Help!!! EMERGENCY!!
- Thread starter Damascus
- Start date
I offered some night crawler and tilapia this morning. He has been in the tank for about 12 hours and has moved around a little but is still sitting in one place for a long time.
He was not interested in food that I saw but I also had to leave for work. The other ray was busy maiming live-bearers and has largely left the new ray alone
He'll move around a tiny bit then sit for a long time, then move to a new spot and sit more
I would be trying smaller foods (frozen bloodworms, brine or mysis shrimp) did u ask what he has been eating from whoever u bought it from? Also, did u have/add an airstone?
There is not an air stone in the system but I can add one when I get home from work. He was eating night crawlers and shrimp. He is about 6 inches across. I saw him eat before I brought him home
I'll keep offering food and keep the room as dark as I can, as well as add aeration and hope his disc goes back down. It hasn't curled but I think he is really worked up from shipping. Still new to getting back into rays
Worrying about a new ray is one of the most stressful things I know of bro. Best of luck to u.
