Rearing stingrays

09-10-2007, 08:00 AM

Hey bro who keep sting rays. Because I'm still new to this type of fish, but I may want to buy one. But how do you guys keep the sting ray. How do you guys prevent the sting ray from stinging you even when they have grown to such a big size (saw from some of your pictures)? Enlighten me, thanks.

Hi Splitfire,

generally, stingrays dun sting unless they are threatened or afraid.
They are very friendly fishes, not aggresive at all. (so far in my own experience) So there's no worries at all!
that's also why you can comm as much together if ur tank can take the bioload.
I always "play" with them by handfeeding them, touching their backs n undersides, they r also ok.

but prevention is always better then cure, so whenever u put ur hands in, jus try not to get close to the rear of the fish n its sides.

They are wonderful fishes to have, so give it a try!
