wow....finally there some feedback coming in..thankz everyone!!!!


motoro is the most basic or so called stingray for beginner....it is more easier to rare compare to other type of stingray...... for that size of motoro stingray, especially its a female....it will cost alot more expensive than the male.....it cost rm1k and above.....for a male at that size...u can get it below rm1k.....
motoro baby or small motoro is cost about rm300 for a male and rm380 for a female.....so u can roughly see the idea what the price about......
there are few kind of stingray you can get in malaysia......they are namely:-
motoro
pearl
henlei
tiger
leopoldi
& etc......

crocodile hunter is killed by a wild stingray and its a salted version of stingray.....
this stingray is freshwater.....anyway, its the same......jus that this is freshwater another is saltwater version...

yea...there quite a number of breeder around the country of malaysia....
but most of them are still small....or some sort other home breeder.....
they take it as an hobby rather than business....

hard or not to rare this fish is realli depend on the person....
some might find it easy but some are not....
for me 50-50....
i did success in keeping a few rays...but i also experience of losing alot of money investting in this rays...
so...everything come with an experience....n an experience comes with a pay.....

im from perak... how bout ur fren??? mayb if he allow, i pay a visit to him.....
we can exchange idea


the cheapest for now u can get a pair is budget around RM650-RM800


but 1 thing u need to know.....the market now u hardly can see any FEMALE!!!
female is priceless and not much ppl wil sell it....

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!!!

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




my location is Sunway.....
we may make a plan to meet up if possible....

WARNING!!!....
pls do not attempt to try this at home.....
it is VERY DANGEROUS!!!

i happen to take this pic because the ray's are still young...they are less agressive....
but anyhow, they do attack!!!....
and it will stress them too....

i doing this is jus to get a good pic to keep in my documentary.....

hope you all enjoy....

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....

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!!!

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.....
