sedative dosage

[Roscoe]

Does anyone have any experience with dosage of ms-222 (finquel) to sedate a stingray? wondering if they are more or less sensitive than most fish... Thanks ...Roscoe

why are you going to sedate your ray???

I'm wondering the answer.
Is this question brought about for shipping or for a procedure to be performed on a ray?

I'm going to sedate him for a move from a 180 gal. to a 300gal. just to reduce the stress involved in making the transition for the ray and for me.

How big is the ray?

How far are you moving him? If it's across the room or within your house, I wouldn't sedate him.

On a side note, when we tag fish we use 7 g of MS 222 in about 20 gals of water.

I think without experience this could end badly. I would just move it without the meds.

45 mg/L worked nicely. thanks for the replys and advice..
