Hi!!! welcome Ajay!
What stingray u have now??? Glad if u can post up some picture
Yea, malaysia do have leopoldi...
erm....from what i know, it cost about RM20k per paiR!!!
this is the price for distributor.....so u can roughly know what the price for leopoldi here....

Hi, thanks for visiting my site!....
I heard of the company before but not sure whether i have went there before or not because flower horn hav been disappear from the market for sometime.....but still do hav ppl loving it.....

anyway, back to stingray.....i guess ur stingray is a motoro and a yapezi......
i bought from your place INDIA?? or import it?

Ajay, i would try my best to answer as much as i know from what i learn.....im not a pro yet...still a student learning about the nature of this freshwater stingray....so i hope every1 out there can share their experience here....n correct me if im wrong....

the rule for keeping stingray is , keep it in a tank as big as possible....rays like big tank....for example like yours, a 4 feet tank would be enough at this moment...but will need a bigger one when they grow bigger....
a tank dats big as 6 x 3 x 3 would probably able to keep 4 adult stingray......

foods that they take would be shrimp, live fish, earth worm ....etc.....more to things that is soft or not too hard as well as things that can be fit in its mouth!.....so if you are thinking to comm tank ur stingrays with other fish, try to get the fish that not easily fit into rays mouth as they will clean up everything dat the tank have....

the sex diffenrentiation can be found in this thread somewhere in the pages 2....i have post up the topic on how to differentiate the sex there....

wow....dats is so problematic to get ornamental fish in india......

chilly red?? erm....probable RM2000 to RM3500....depend on quality....
there is no such thing called guaranteed in raring arowana....its mostly depend on how you take care of it...they need skill....so, hard to giv u a guaranteed on this...

so, how much u purchase for both ur stingray?
they are male or female?

oohh...ur stingrays is around that price for selling in LFS of Malaysia....so, not to worry that you bought too expensive!...
by the way, for arowana, in order for breeders/distributer/ etc...they definitely require a tag on the arowana..we could not simply export the fish out of the country without a tag on the aro...because arowana is control under CITES...
from what you said n what i read thru, you might be right but you might be wrong too....
for example, if you bought that arowana (let say 4years ago), then you might be wrong, because red arowana onli will start develop it potential colour when it reach the matured/old age....but during this time, due to better quality and special care, red aro tend to start developing it colour when it is still young....BUT BUT BUT....red arowana realli do need skill....it depend on what you feed them, how your tank structure, your water condition and so on.....so, good luck!...even me myself sometime do face prob like ppl out there where the red arowana doesnt look great like others ppl arowana.....

im looking to get more higher quality stingray now.....plaaning to go into getting marble stingray and SP

so do i....hehehe...try to online at least 1hr a day...

here are some of my stingrays update....they are all 20" inch diameter and above....
they are placed in a 6 x 3 x 2 fibertank.....but already moved into a bigger pond....will update the pic of the place they have been moved to soon!...
hope you guyz enjoy!!!

hey ajay, long time din hear from you.....its 2 pair in the picture....got it from malaysia locally....this 2 pair both hav borned pups before....
I exchange it with arowana.....so, the estimation price for a pair of this is about RM4,500 my cost....about USD 1360...

hey samperth....glad to see you here n great that u keep stingray too .....welcome to the forum!!!
your motoro stingray look great...how many u hav? look like u at least hav 3 in the pic.....feed us with more info....is an aquarium or pond???


ajay, it tooks around about 6-8 month for that size....depend on your feeding.....how your stingrays???? all still cool??

outdoor ar?? where u stay?? hahaha..i go break in....JKJK...
male faster than female??? i dont think so....i think female faster than male...but its realli depend on the fish 1 la....mayb ur male grow faster because he manage to eat more....

Its normal ajay, some of my stingray doesnt eat prawn but onli fishes.....mayb its their appetite problem....u can train it by not given them food for 1 or 2 day, then try with the new food that you wanted them to eat....but make sure do not over starve ur rays......in order to make this food eating changes, make sure ur ray is healthy and look fat.....because its dangerous to train n starved and unhealthy stingray....

Normally a stingray can take about 8 to 12months in order to reach 8" diameter....depend on the ray itself....

Bro Ajay, I think might be your water condition is not going well with the ray.....u should check ur water parameter....such as PH, NH3 and Nh4.....water condition is vy important for freshwater stingray....not flat on the bottom instead of looking like an arch??!! i hope its not wat we called "death curl"......if its a death curl, then its hard to safe it....so,hav a check on the water condition, and do water changes ....onli changes about 20-30% at once...not too much...and make sure ur water going into the tank is safe from hurting ur ray....


they dont fight with each other....but sometime will happen if more male fighting for 1 female when they are matured.... jus like human.....or else, they wont fight if they are feed well....

hmm....u wont die like crocodile hunter....
freshwater stingray will not sting easily....onli when they feel unsecure...
and if get stung, no worries, keeping stingray rules - deep your stung-ed part into warm/hot water...then the poison would not spread....normally u will feel abit numb when u got stung...but evrything will be fine...go to doctor if u feel uncomfortable...
u can train ur ray using hand feed....stingray can be hand feed....it the fun part of keeping a ray....and ray will be vy happi see-ing going near them ....(when u walk near the tank).....
hav fun keeping stingray!!! if u dun hav...get one!!!


u r welcome....ajay, try not to water change too much at a time....20% is more than enough....if u feel not good enough...change it few hours later.... what kind of prawn u feed them? live prawn or market prawn??? live prawn would be a good food for rays.....infection?? mayb...mayb not....so, keep up wit water changes but not too much in a time....and feed them good stuff......rays doesnt goes well with soe medicine....no to antibiotic...so, do not simply apply medi onto ray....water changes would be good enough....hope everything will be fine

dats very good to hear that your rays getting better!!!....nowaday stingray in malaysia getting more and more hobbyist looking for it....i hav sold alot of rays these day....out of stock!....hahaha.....the production of rays is limited compare to the demand requirement
