Singrays on vacation?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
IMO the tank should house a small stingray around 4"-5" alright but you will have to upgrade later though.
 
yea... teacup stingrays are comonly called retic stingrays which have a max disk size of 18" but have longer tails to make up for the smaller size

Even for a teacup stingray?

teacup rays still get to 16inch disk

you maybe ok to leave the rays without food for 1 week if they are bigger than 10inch disk

BUT if you have any tank mates with the rays they may not be their when you get home :D
 
Yes like everyone said that tank is small. Get a male motoro pup 4-5" in size and you may get 18months if he is housed in the 90 alone. Good thing is, you could easily sell him when he is bigger, or, if you cant save a little money in 18 months do buy a bigger tank, you dont need a ray. They cost a TON to house with all the water changes and FOOD! haha

I went out of town for four days. My rays are all 8-10 and I fed them as usual before I left and had my fiancee feed them once during that time span. Anyhow, they decided to try and eat my HUGE 15" fire eel. The eel is still alive but pretty banged up. Rays can be some evil bastages when they are hungry!
 
Also, if you have other fish in the tank, they can start to nip at the stingray after a few days without food. Stingrays don't like that very much.
 
ya if you can wait to get one tell u get back then do that, if not, get a smaller ray, just know u will need to upgrade or sell him when he gets to big. power feed him a cpl day b4 you go and do a big water change and add some ghost shrimp for him to snack on. you should be fine, what will its tank mates be tho
 
Sounds like stingrays are too intesive for my situation. :(
