If she is interested on frozen GS..... the tendency of converting to MP is very high.... all u need to do is pump her fat enough with frozen GS and then keep feeding MP till she eats MP.... starving her 1~2 days is no problem.... hopes it helps

Is it advisable to put the rubber tip on their sting for our protection? Would it affect the stingray in anyway?

Do you guys do that?

Is it safe to keep rays with clown loaches and also blue loaches ( botia )? And yes, the loaches are bigger than the ray's mouth.

No point unless you are bagging the ray for long haul transport. Exporters do this only to safeguard that the ray's stinger does not pierce the containment bag. Especially for big rays, their sting can potentially pierce even the styrofoam box they are in storage. In tank captivity, no need to do such thing.

Your loaches will be come feeder to the rays.

Thanks. How voracious is the ray's appetite? Are they like catfish whereby they will try and stuff what they think they can potentially swallow into their mouths?

How long would a ray pup last, if it isn't eating?
