I've got it too. I think I'd be willing to sell off almost all my other fish just to have more stingrays...


That is pretty much what happened at our house. We had tank after tank of different fish....now we have a pond in the basement with rays (and a couple tank mates), but life definately revolves around the rays.

haha man from the looks of it you really didnt sleep last night haha


Got some sleep, but went to bed late and got up EARLY. lol


Went home at lunch to check on things, everyone is doing ok still. The female has a little chunk missing out of her disc. When I found her she was tucked up behind a pump hiding and she was scuffed up a bit. So far it looks like it should heal up ok. (fingers crossed)
 
Congrats!

I hear you, get some larger tanks and I will send some rays your way:D

I've got some plans in the wings... probably going to need to sell off some of what I've got soon to make some room for a larger tank. Then I'll be on the lookout :)


Congrats again by the way! It must be an awesome feeling to watch a ray giving birth, and to have those cute little pups to take care of.

Thanks Conner. It has been really cool. The pups are amazing. The larger male is already swimming up on the front of the tank and free thru the water. He seems very strong and healthy. The female and smaller male move around, but they stay on the bottom. We have been offering cut up read worms and they are at least chewing on them. We are picking up some black worms today to see if they prefer those.

Nice work with the Rays.. Hope for the best with them


Thanks J. and Bogwood, earlier today the female and one of the males ate fairly aggressively. We thought they would really enjoy the black worms we picked up yesterday, but they seem to prefer cut up red worms. We really don't care what they eat as long as they eat. We are trying to feed them 3 time a day. We put a small piece of driftwood in there with some live plants attached and they spend most of their time hiding around it.
