Dear friends of MFK.... last year i've started this stingray project and wanted to have up to 20 stingray upon my completion of the project...

but apparently i've had 5 stingray in total..... Lost 4 of them..... 3 last year and 1 recently.... and now left the last of my male motoro....

it is really sad of how things go wrong with my rays... but apparently rearing this fish is a challenge... i've been rearing tropical fish with no problem and my last project was catfish... which i place it in the LFS now for sale...

at the mean time i will not get anymore stingray for this few months until i stablized my financial....

so now everything is just burned.... and left my last surviving stingray... about how my stingray lost? its a long long story... hope next time things will get better for me...
 
yo bro... if im not mistaken ur from malaysia also right?

100% sure its not from wild... breed in peninsular malaysia i think... then send over to borneo....

yo bro, do you have any pups for sale?

Are rays really so hard to keep? i've always planned on getting rays one day but this is very discouraging.

ah... this is a difficult answer... well it is up to experience... its hard for me to say now.. im searching for more answer... :)

but it think hands on like what im doing now is an experience which i learned in a hard way
 
In your signature you have a 48x24x18, is this the tank you were using...if so this is not big enough to keep one ray, let along 4 or 5, you would need massive filtration, massive water changes and even then they would out grow it within 6 months to a year just for one pup.

You need a much bigger tank for volume and some test kits to know what is going on, rays are not hard to keep given good water conditions and space.

Rays give out a large bio load and a small body of water is massively affected by this, you need volume to cope!

Good luck
