Very cool ray. If have one to. (Gonna be more 😉). Always fun when we having dinner at the dinner table. My family absolutely loves him. Good luck with your ray 👍
Mate Dave is beautiful I’m so glad you added sand. Rays must have sand It’s their Bolt hole I love this tank it’s the exact size I plan to buy in the next couple of months once I’m established with my new move from London to Norfolk although after the uproar and nasty treatment dished out to the last poor guy I’m not sure that it may be overstocked already so adding the second Ray could create a lot of aggro your life won’t be worth living Mick 😂😂😂Cheers mate
Beautiful ray, I'm hoping to get my first ray around the end of June start or July once I get home from holiday, I'm too scared to leave him for 14 days! Going to be keeping 1 male black diamond, 1 male mini marble motoro and 3 mono peacock bass, although this could all change it is the current plan! Edit: I will be getting my rays from topstingraysuk
Mick also pal just a quikie ,, get a USB airator, sell them on amazon!!! You should tape it to a tub , just means the fish have always got oxygen from the time they are netted to when they get home 🤟🤟
@@MicksFishUk no worries lad!! If I ever go wharf or something wich is a hour and half from me , I always take a strong tub and a airator , just means that all I need to do is focus on the heat of the car rather then stressing about oxygen levels ,, as you could even go as far as chucking in a nice sponge filter 🤟🤟 as I know you do some hefty distances some times lad 😏
How true , hopefully moving my 2 month old Cory cats will be a smooth transfer to the big tank above them ? But reading your comment has me ready , after I smoke .... Then ready 🙄💙💚
I use the same sand in my MBU tank.. it’s not cheap by any means but it’s a fantastic large grain sand that doesn’t blow around much. A heads up for you wash this type of sand in a large plastic tote and use a Sieve to remove the sand to your tank and you get near zero cloudy water at all..
What a cutie! How big's the tank? It sounds from your other comments that you're keeping an eye on it but do be aware that plecos are most active at night so you might not spot any munching that's happening until it's too late. You know what you're doing but just wanted to mention it just in case!
@@MicksFishUk thats great Mick I'm so happy for you brother they are such cool fish my local pet store had three males the other day an albino a brown looking one and a black diamond they were just so neat just so gracefully swimming and coming up to the side of the ben they were in that they use for koi goldfish as ponds I actually set up another tank this weekend another planet tank for my fancy tail guppies and corydoras they are such interactive little catfish especially the albino but congratulations on the new fish
Nice u at Olly’s house top geezer 👍🏼 nice to see my old albino doing well 😍
Hi Mick, I too have just got a ray (Motoro), and yes I now have the bug. I will be following your progress along with mine.
Greetings from Canada. Really enjoy your channel and love your passion for the hobby. Keep it going. All the best.
Very cool ray. If have one to. (Gonna be more 😉). Always fun when we having dinner at the dinner table. My family absolutely loves him. Good luck with your ray 👍
Absolutely beautiful fish! Looks stunning in that tank 😍 so pleased for you and not jealous at all 😉

😂😂😂Cheers mate
Finally got one good for you man you are lucky they are illegal we’re I live
Wicked mick! Lovely ray!
Very cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Nice 1 Mick what a cracking stingray mate
This is awesome 👍 I love the ray Bro congratulations 😃👍
Stunner
I knew it 😄

I love rays

They are awesome when there’s a few of them, I got three pups myself with my RTG and silver aro… and 4 Oscars…
And I think that was a bd/Leo hybrid if I remember rightly 🧐
Swc 🤔
So happy for you I wish I had one
Wanna get into rays myself looks awesome fella 😁 I did read something about not to have plecos in there how's yours getting on
He was fine with them and the plecs never bothered him. But I have mates with different stories mate
wow using a ladder to access your tank really shows how huge it is
love it man!!! Super dope 🔥
That is cool.
Welcome to the club👍😂
Finally we have a ray
beautiful! what size is that tank?
I knew you would get a Ray eventually. Rays will eat your clown loaches if they are small enough. Basically if they can swallow it they will do.
I'm in such split minds about getting a teacup ray, £400 is a lot of.money but how cool are they 😩😩
Give planet arowana a call, his got plenty of rays, very good price too, got mine from him today
Knew this was gonna happen!!! Make sure you look into there shedding and stuff pal!! As sand sifters can get impaled eg clown loaches
Yes mate I know thanks bud 👍🏻👍🏻
Bro how many days once you change the water it so crystal clear
Hey mate 50% once a week
Congratulations on getting your first Stingray! What is the smallest stingray species?
Hey mate thanks so much. I don’t know mate the best people to talk to are wharf aquatics they will know 👍🏻
Talk to Richard Hardwick at wharf aquatics mate!
Smallest species are potamotrygon laticeps and potamotrygon scobina, Also potamotrygon wallacei and reticulate stay relatively small
@@Dreirio what would you say they max out at roughly?
hello mike would a silver arowanna be good for a 1000litre 6ft tank like that??
Hey mate it will for a year or so but then will need bigger 👍🏻
@@MicksFishUk ok thx because i have a couple of fish in a custom 4ft tank but wanna upgrade them to a 6ft tank
my 4ft is about 327litre tank
You should give kingofdiy a shout if you need any pointers he's a Ray spdcialist
Be careful with your bottom feeders the stingray could eat them , also your Pleco might stick onto its slime coat and kill it .
Yeah I’ve also heard about plecos removing the slime coat off of rays and they eventually die… not worth risking it
Mick also pal just a quikie ,, get a USB airator, sell them on amazon!!! You should tape it to a tub , just means the fish have always got oxygen from the time they are netted to when they get home 🤟🤟
I have just ordered one mate thanks for watching ☺️

looks stunning mate!! I would of slept in the room on the first night just to watch him 🤣🤣
Absolutely beautiful how peaceful he transferred that fish
How true , hopefully moving my 2 month old Cory cats will be a smooth transfer to the big tank above them ? But reading your comment has me ready , after I smoke .... Then ready 🙄💙💚
@@stoneysscapes7544 I respect u so much for your natural instinct in caring. Going above n beyond always 🤟😎
💙💙💚💚💙💙
he is a beauty mate 😍
Sorry for you. You now Got the bug. No Way back
Hi can we please have a update on the garden pond l
Yes no probs I will do one soon 👍🏻👍🏻
Dave, the black diamond ray, he’s a legend already, 😂 just a stunning fish. 👍🏴
Snap!!! I just picked up my black diamond stingray from planet arowana… 😁
Congrats on the first Ray Mick!!

Welcome to the club mate... you're gonna need a bigger tank Rays get addictive
He's Wicked & really big !!! Congrats on finding Big Dave ♦️ All the best wishes for you and your fishes😎 💚💙

Keep it real too Mick - try keeping a Blue Ring Stingray
Hahaha alrite dave, rays are the best fish to keep
Butiful mate!!! Shotout from
Bmore
Nice to see Dave has gone to a good home! We was sad to see him go!
You have any more you're looking to find a home for? I have a bunch of fish I am looking to swap for a Ray or 2! Let me know 👍
Thanks so much for holding him mate really do appreciate it ☺️👍🏻
@@MTFAquatics I don’t unfortunately all my rays are keepers,
@@MicksFishUk it’s not a issue it’s such a chilled ray

It’s a weird size 6x2.1x2.5
Never clicked on a video so quickly!!!
Nice one, try and get a pair of scobina stay smaller and stunning I was going to get them instead but get hystrix
Thanks mate I will look in to it ☺️👍🏻
Hey 👋stingrays are gorgeous
Thanks so much ☺️
The perspective shot when you were loading the ray in the tank made that arowana look _huuuuuge_.
will the pleco in your tank not suck on the ray? I watched somewhere they do that? not sure
It good so far mate been 3 weeks
fair enough, the tanks looking stunning mate👌🏽
I got stingrays and plecos in my big tank. No problem!
Yeah he's definitely stressed hiding himself he should be okay
Yea mate it’s been 3 weeks now he’s all good eats so much 😁👍🏻
