Stingray

[cane76]

my big female lost her baby stinger last night i was a bit worried coz it was getting a bit swollen and i thought something might be wrong,now she just has her new big stinger she looks great

and her new stinger in the bottom pic,its just over 3" long

very very interesting. I wasn;t aware that stingray's could do this.

Unfortunatly, my bamboo shrimp molted, and my senegal ate him, so my natural process didn't go so smooth.

adult stingrays replace their sting every year or so

Cool, love that last pic, with the jusese poking his head in

What did you pick it up with?

i just netted it out,i i thought it was a bit of bogwood that had come away.
i have it wrapped in toilet roll like a kids first baby tooth
in the last pic if you look carefully the eel is poking his head in too above the bogwood

I though adults shed every 8, 9 months, rather than once a year, but im sure you know better than me lol

you could be right i read it was once a year tho,it probably depends on the fish as in diet and growth etc.anyone?
