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

Hi, I am happy to inform that he is much better today, had a small peice of prawn and looks more comfortable today, thanks a lot for your advice. Regarding the prawn, what I feed is market prawn only. I am living in a state called Kerala , our western border is Arabian sea so we get lot of sea fish including prawns. So I peal small prawns and keep it in the freezer and give it for maximum one week not more that. Buying prawns daily is dificult for me that is why once in a week purchase.

Regards

Ajay

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

Hope by this time you must have received some new batches of Sting rays for SALE ....My ray is abosolutely allright now. The other one(female) is little lazy now !! but okey. Seems she is more comfortable with live feeder fish like gold fish babies,than my prawns.

my new batch of ray will be arrive in a week time....then possiblity can be make available after 3weeks on quarantine....i will make sure all the rays free from defect then onli can sell it to public....

Oh, thats great.What all strains are you getting? hope you will post the photos once you receive it.
eagerly waiting to see those photos.

this coming shipment mostly marble.....will update asap when i get it...

Just wondering if there is such a sp of motoro that will stay small with a trade name of " Mini Motoro"
- Just how big will they grow to ?
- How fast do they grow ?

These mini motoro look exactly like the regular motoro but retail at smaller size ie 2.5 to 3 inch disc size !!

Thanks in advance for any replies

Mini motoro??? where u heard about this type of SP motoro???
i have never heard about these type of motoro yet...2.5inch rays is basiclly too small..it happen to the female motoro for giving birth to the ray too early....its hard to take care and mostly hard to survive....

a normal motoro will grow about 0.5- 1inch per month....depend on the rays itself....a motoro can grow up to 24inch in an adult size and even bigger sometime for female....

if u realli do come across any mini motoro, pls inform me...im curious to look at it...

They appear on my LFS list from time to time price at about RM 500 a pc early this year !!

My LFS get his supplies from either Nangyang or Sanwa and some other I am not sure of !!

Thats why my curiousity !! As never heard of "mini" motoro anywhere !!

hm....dats special case...where r u from? seriously i have never heard of mini motoro before....is the LFS still selling "mini motoro"?? if yes, mayb i wanna go and hav a look...

I am in Sabah ! In fact I bought 2.2 but they only grew 1 inch for the past 6 or so months , while 2 regular one are already 9 - 10 inch
- Mini bought as 2.5 - 3 inch now average 3 - 4 + inch disc size
- Regular bought as 4 - 5 inch now average 9 - 10 inch !!

Now due to size difference I have to seperate them into 2 tanks !!
Runts of the litter maybe ??

Just bought some Marble but only males available !! SIGH

What are you feeding for these too small ones, Feeding my 4-5 inch itself is very difficult. they take only small prawns ( Pealed sea prawns ) that too one or two small one /day. Is it sufficient for their proper growth. Please let me know what are you feeding for your small ones and how frequently.So that i can also try that.

As mention before I feed them mince meat ie pork , beef , chicken ....etc beside seafood ie prawn , fish ...etc

There are many baby fish ( Koi , Golfish guppy ...etc ) in their enclosure for them to hunt and eat if they can catch them !!

hmm...realli makes me curious....would u mind to show us some pic of ur MINI MOTORO??? normally a ray in young stage, will grow about 1"inch a month.....seriously curious....please show me pic if can.....
how much u get for ur marble?? any pic???

Yo everyone....been long time not posting....here are some new pic for sharing....my new collection!!!
Hope out there getting more and more ppl getting into freshwater stingray hobbies....





its some kind of SP (Hybrid) Stingray....

Hi I am very sad to inform u all that I lost my male sting ray.It had some problems in taking food few months back then he was all right. But again two weeks back it stoped taking any food even his favourite prawns. Last month was very bad for me I lost one pair of breeding discus and one flower horn...Totally disappointed. Now I have only one Female sting ray.

For ray keeper ... maintain good water parameter is a must ...

hi guys ...just wanna share some of my breeding stok ...henlei sp

More to come ......
