Ok My motoro has shed his stinger overnight. I've taken it out of the tank and I want to keep it. What's the best thing to do with it now....

Just let it sit out to dry or should I do something else?
 
boil it in hot water, the poison is protein based.... it disolves under hot water (thus the reason you put ur hand under hot water if you get stung)

Ok I'll do that today. It's sitting on top of the tank now.

Good start to a collection. Keep track of them and make a little display case.


I got a sweet glass ray for fathers day and I think I'm going to try and get a stingray shotglass and keep them in that until I have a few then I'll get a box.
