Red Sea Blue Spotted Stingray

[Deano1956]

Have any of you ever had or have one of these guys? I have heard they are much more hardy than the Indonesian ones buy I dont see them for sale online but a LFF says he can get me one for around 250.00

I'm not really sure, I figure weather or not it comes from the Red Sea it's a blue spot and may still be very very touchy...good price though.

I have a LFS not real far from me in Tinely Park thats very trustworthy around here and he said they are way more hardy than the others. Ive heard that only 1 in 5 of the Indo. ones make it and that not to good

 

[Diskboy12]

If they are respectable and say they are hardier...go for it I say.

I have to save some $. I just bought another Cal. Round Ray.

Thats a lot of money for a fish and i never have spent that much on one.

Welcome to salt water keeping.I have heard a few times before about fish from the Red Sea being more hardy but no one has ever been able to explain how or why this is.

I have been doing salt for some years now but building a Ray pond now as i find them much more personable

They're still pretty touchy compared to other saltwater rays.

Oh I see,my 'welcome' remark was a reponse to you commenting on fish prices,most saltwater fish are much more expensive than freshwater fish but its what we are into right?I had a Cortez ray before and I loved the way it would just appear from underneath the sand when food was dropped in.
