Finally, a video of my tank with sting ray.

Okay, before you guys watch this, i want you to hear me out. I am in up to my ears in criticism for having a sting ray in my tank. I completely understand he is not under ideal conditions, but hey, unless hes in the ocean, he will never be under ideal conditions. Either way, please refrain from telling how "the tank is too small" or"there is not enough sand bed". There is a guy I know who has 19 tanks specifically for sting rays. He has 73 rays total, granted his tanks are huge. He has been to my house and checked out my setup and assures me that the ray will be comfortable and I will be able to keep him easily for 2+ years which is what I was originally aiming for. The livestock I have is in my sig and is not going to change as my tank is fully stocked. The snowflake eel is being returned tomorrow btw. Please be courteous here guys. Thanks, Patrick


you can hear my little brother yelling in the background haha

 

that tank is way to sma... haha just kidding, cool looking sting ray.

 

cool... what size is that tank

 

that guy is just plain awesome! he's extremely active, i am very jealous!

 

the tank is 100 60 in long by 20 deep by 20 high

yeah and for those who think hes swimming constantly because he doesnt have enough room to swim, the guy who has all the rays told me that he has baby rays like mine and they dont stop swimming all over the glass of his 20 foot long monster tank.

 

very cool....

 

i dont think....... buahahaha just kidding. i love stingrays dude. i know you dont have the barb removed, so are you planning on it? if i could have four tanks they would be reef, shark, sting ray, and lionfish tanks. so you may now know that i love your tank!!

 

i knew it wouldnt be long before you popped in gexx. hahahaha. but im not sure about the barb... i hold him all the time with no problems but it definitely concerns me.

me too i want as much time with him as possible.

 

Crikey thats a nice ray!!!

 

give him to my ray friend for free for being such a good help. he has over 45,000 gallons of ray tanks... how crazy.
