Any Ray Keepers On Forum- Got One Tonight

[simonas]

He looks awesome up on the glass like that!

Good luck swapping out the gravel, reminds me of when I changed from play sand to black gravel on my 5ft *shudder*

cheers

Thats a job for tomorrow morningme thinks lol

Easier to go from big gravel to sand than vice versa, sand is a pain to get out!!! But then again... easier to siphon out...

I ment to say, your ray is stunning! I love his markings!!! He is a pretty boy!

 

[divegirl]

If I;m right as well Steve Irwin was just unlucky cos the ray pierced his heart with the spike as opposed to stinging him??

Either way I think what happened was inevitable - long live real naturalists who actually like to see nature from a safe and non-interfering distance and seeing WILD ANIMALS act as they should

Anyway, would love to see some piccies of the ray! Was it from a private dealer?

Have to agree...anyone who grabs an animal by the tail for 'good tv' was gonna get it in the end!!!!!

Beautiful ray you have there

Good luck with changing the substrate ....look forward to lots more pics and up-dates!

cheers pal

they;re getting on fine although I;m keeping a close eye, the only issues I;ve had s with the 4 reedfish who all had a nibble at him and kept doing it, I removed them straight away and put them in a diffrent tank. I;ll have a go at reintroducing them but if they do it again I;ll have to advertise them which will pain me as they are massiv now and look really impressive

 

[simonas]

phew!!!!

got most of the gravel out added a load of sand and did a water change at same time before adding the heater guard!!!!

removed some of the clutter and the tank now looks a load more ray friendly!!!

 

[MBOU]

Hooray Now it means we need tonnes more photos!!!! LOL

 

[indigoj]

yep new pics please! and good look reintroducing the reeds.

 

[karigupi]

He is stunning Glad to hear the gravel/sand change went well, I bet that was a job & a half!

Look forward to seeing more pics & hearing how you get on with him

 

[simonas]

a couple more pics tonight... still need to take out the last bits of gravel and I;m winding down a tank with sand in so I;ll use that toadd a deeper layer
The ray bures in the sand a fair bit so often is covered in sand#

 

[indigoj]

You have some lovely fish there, that ray looks so cute burried in the sand and the fire eel is a stunner.

 

[karigupi]

he is beautiful & your eel is a stunner. The ray is my 'one day' fish, eventually I would love a pair in a monster tank, will be a good while till I can afford it & have room for it though.
