bro --- be sure to cycle the "pond" first -- meaning get the biofiltration up and running first before adding your rays -- else ammonia overload and your first few fishes might die

Measure pH of water to ensure it is right water parametres to put your rays down.

U mentioned ankle length's deep? That means it is too shallow. Cam share actual dimensiOns and pic if possible?

Bro e height is too shallow, u will need at least 1 to 1.5ft in height. Sometimes they will do chin ups or hunt their food on e side, if its too shallow i nt sure how can they do it

ankle height is not sufficient for raykeeping.
