Min 3 meals a day of fish, prawn and squid diet with weekly live snacks of shrimp and worms. Warm water with fast current to exercise and slow current spots to rest. Over aeration. PH kept at 6.5-7.1. I also alternate between hard mineral and soft Ketapan/peat water gradually every month to simulate seasonal high tide and low tide in the amazon. I'm aiming to simulate the ideal amazonian conditions thats all. Esparis;2737426; said: Are they the only pair in yr tank/pond? Click to expand... Kept with 9 different other rays. I have a 2yo 16 inch Motoro x Henlei and Orbigni that not even farted though. Males of Pearl F2 SP and PDR x Pearl only just maturing at 13-14 inches. Funny that they both went for the smaller female. Maybe thats what they can handle.
