Hi.
    How long you have been keeping this rays,How long it took to grow this size.How often you clean the sand in the tank.What about the feed ?

Regards
Ajay

I bought them(this lot) back in April !!

The sand I change every 6 months (try to )

Feeding
- Live feeder fish inside all the time
- Supplement with sea prawn , pork , beef , sea fish fillet ...............etc

Hi, One of my sting rays is not taking any food.He used to take prawns or earth worms.but for the last two days he is not showing any interest to food.Today when I gave him small peices of earth worms he is trying to eat it but after chewing it for long time he spited it out.What could be the reason ? What should I do ? Some times he is not laying flat on the bottom instead like an arch ( Without touching the bottom of its body fully on the floor ). Please help me ....

Ajay

If not laying flat most of the time is water condition not good or some infection ...etc

If that occur most of the time they will eat less or reject food altogather !!

Are there any rashes ( red in particular on the underside ) discolouration ( almost white on surface ) are signs to look out for !!

They are scaleless creature so they dont respond well to most medication THUS prevention is best !!

A pic of your Ray in the said arch position is best !!

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 !!

Just read a book/Magazine - AquaPets no 50 Dec2007
Inside theres a section - Stingray Perfect Manual !!


I think I know why theres a sp they call "mini " Its actually Colombia ray , Potamotrygon reticulate and the chinese name " mi ni hong " thus direct translation Mini ray !!


Sorry for the confussion !! !
