Nightmare came true 2.0

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My condolences, that pair was gorgeous.. It seems like indeed many members are experiencing issues. it's strange that both of yours died together over night.. Are you going to do a necropsy?

What the hell is going on!!! This is very discouraging for new ray keepers like my self! Very very sorry man they were a remarkable pair!!! Not one chance in hell would nitrates at 80 ppm kill fish. Not even 200ppm!!! Very strange

Are rays not extremely sensetive?
 
ahhh, dude that really blows. they were some beautiful rays too.don't let it discourage you.....everytime I lose a fish it makes me want to quit the hobby. Gotta keep on keepin' on
 
Sorry you lost your rays- they were a great looking pair.

When I say fish I meant both. Are you saying a ray will die in 80ppm nitrates even when everything else is perfect????

From what I hear ray breeders in Asia breed them in extremely high nitrates and also some ray keepers I know have had rays for years at over 200 nitrates. So how does a fish die at 80ppm?

I don't mean to derail George's thread, but I'm wondering where you get your info from? Freshwater stingray guys are the pioneers of aquarium filtration. 24/7 drip systems, exotic submersed media, and fluidized bed filters were all made popular by ray keepers. The most successful ray breeders I know employ the best equipment, provide the cleanest water, and yield the best results.

Should post a thread and see what everyone s Nitrates are. Nitrates might shorten a life or slow growth but won't affect short term health
