Pics of my new Sting Ray and Tangs!

i will put a video of him swimming and eating from my hand soon. there is no corraline because it is all marco rock base rock. the tank has been established for about 3 months now.

 

very very cool just dont let it stap you in the heart!!!!

 

yeah im trying to avoid the steve irwin haha

 

haha.. i saw a sting ray at my lfs last week.. i was really tempted to get it but i really dont have space for it in my tank.. but they heck look cool.. congrats on your new additions

 

What's brill mean ?

 

Brill=brilliant I believe, crazy islanders over across the pond.

Do you have other food available for the ray or do sand eels fit the full nutritional profile needed for rays? I don't know much about rays, and less about sand eels. ;D

 

watch out for what you add to the tank. certain things will attack a stringrays eyes when laying under sandbed.. I forget what maybe crabs or certain fish.. just fYi.

I had a blue spotted back in 1999, in my 55g.. no LR though. it lasted for about 1 year I recall. watch your arm when reaching in tank to clean, had my ray brush against my arm with its tail 1 time. got lucky..

 

the sand eels provide adequate nutrition for the ray but i am looking into what else i can feed him

thanks for the advice. ill be sure to be careful

 

3 months? ok. i know that puffers and some tangs will pick at the eyes thinking they are a food source. so just watch out for that.

 

trust me i have watched this tank like a ninja. the tangs are babies and the rabbitfish is also pretty small
