this hobi is too expensive for me LOL..

then what your hobby???
from what i observe, no hobby in this wrld is cheap!
its jus depend on the person point of view....
if they likes it, no matter how much they will try to get it....
hobby = pricelessss......

this is a JUS BORN baby stingray....
look at the stomach, they do hav egg yolk in the body....
the egg yolk take about 1 week to disolve.....
within that period of time, the stingray can survive without feeding
but anyhow, as stingray eat like pig, they will eat anything that around them....
giv comment if im wrong.... cuz that what i got to know about.....
mayb someone out there are more experience...
still learninG!!!

wow

incredible

interested here also

but ur location too far... hehe

maybe 1 day

wat else u play?

hahaha.....
my location not far.......
during weekday, i most probably will be at kl....
onli weekend i ill be back to my hometown....
i travel almost everyday....cuz my job doesnt allow me to stay at one place...
even in kl i do have my fishes....cuz fishes are part of my life....
for now,
i'm into Arowana, Stingray & Discus

is a 4 feet tank size big enough to conduct captive breeding of stingray?
and another thing is most stingray are wild collected from rivers such as Amazon, am i right to say captive bred stingrays are more suitable and adaptive in aquariums & water composition?

i have read it before in books, that freshwater stingray have ancestry decent from their saltwater cousins. During the earth continental drift (tectonic drift) movement of the earth continents, has causing sub-divided oceans and rivers are formed from it, and water gradually looses it salinity level in waters further inland farther away from the ocean, some stingrays are trapped and become adapted to freshwater rivers over thousands of years in its evolution and survival capability. Some can even survive in brackish water, the area which the river meets the sea. Research has findings shows that bacteria that live in the digestive system of a freshwater stingray are the same ones that are found in those stingrays that live in sea water.

Guess that will answer why freshwater stingrays are sensitive to changes in the water in terms of salinity and chemicals.

where ur location in kl?

Hi blitzboy, you r absolutely correct...what u say i true....
dats y sometime u will see ppl saying that having a stingray or raring a stingray is difficult while some say no....
there are few tactics or secret recipe that we need to know....
i learn from mistake....i have lost alot of money in this stingray, but i also do learn alot of thing.....
im glad that you brought up this issue....
1st of all, stingray are definitely from amazon which is Brazil, Peru, Mexico and etc.....
4year ago, when i rare this stingray, most of the people have failed so do i, but some ppl survive ....
1 have a bunch of fren rare this stingray 4 years ago...so we learn from here n there to find out the reason
4 years ago, our main source are from brazil, so when the ray's arrive malaysia, they need times to get use to our malaysia waterquality and environment......sme survive some no....
after these time we have learn n keep it survive, we manage to captive breed it...
for now, if you wan to buy a stingray from a LFS, the most important Question that you need to ask the LFS is where the ray's come from.....
you need to very sure where the ray's come from, if it s not captive breed then think twice...if captive breed, then the chances of survival is higher..
but if the LFS say import from somewhere else or he brought from someone who import from somewhere else....then becareful...
beside this, when u deicde to buy the ray's... ask the LFS to feed the ray....to check whether they eat or not....is they eat...then add another point in ur buying chances.....
many other thing that you need to look into before you buy a ray.....
will put in more information sooon!!!

nice to meet u blitzboy

we may make a plan to meet up if possible....

WARNING!!!....
pls do not attempt to try this at home.....

oooo...icic...thats near....
you can get my contact from the pet shop list ma....

buthen at the moment those baby is back to my hometown...

but some new ray's will arrive by end of this month i think....

It's not a good sign if you see your rays breath like this....
Few problem might have cause this..
Water condition, ammonia level too high
Worst if the rays already being affected with virus internally....

Hi there nice ray you have, how do you tell the differences between the gender of ray? Male and female physical differences ??

i am considering keeping rays, and looking for those captive bred ones. If you manage to breed them i don't mind to buy a male and female sting ray from you. I think a 4 feet tank would be sufficient to breed them. I am from subang jaya. LOL.

you mean sting ray do attack when you handle it? you mean it bites your fingers?

i will post up some pic of the rays to show you how to differentiate between male n female....
very easy onli......
currently my fren have some captive breed motoro onli.....n the picture shown is my latest purchase from my fren....captive SP stingray....
so if you want i can get it for u....
4 feet tank is enough but the wide need to be at least 2feet.....

Here is the picture that can show you how to differentiate ray's between male and female....

A male have 2 claspers while female don't....


Enjoy!!!

can this stingray kill us like killing steve?

the sting ray that killed steve is the big one, and live in sea water.
if I am not mistaken the largest of all stingray is the manta ray and grow up to 5 - 6 meters in wing span.
the size is very big and so wide the way it swims it's like flying or gliding through water.




look at the size of that thing compare to the diver

Woah! u are damn cool man

how much does it cost u?

u r right blitsboy....
freshwater stingray can grow up to MAX 3 feet onli and depend on the kind of breed.....
normally onli around 2 feet




hahaha......its cost from lowest around rm200/rm300 til infinity.....
some breed cause about 5digit even is a jus a baby stingray....

5digit!
thats expensive
upload more of ur sting ray picture bro! its gorgeous!
