Hey I have a question what type of stingray is it? And if it happens to be a teacup what size tank is that. I’m looking into getting myself a 200 - 240 gallon tank for a stingray. Just want to know if I’m reading good info online.
Duck Studio's This is a Marble Motoro mixed with an Aparacio. It would be expected to get between 10-14 inches MAX! A 200-240 gallon tank should be fine for teacup type rays or even some of the other rays, specifically males because they stay smaller than females
Candy Tomberelli Cool! What species is it?? Let me know how she reacts to the siphon! She’ll begin to realize that the siphon equals food, and run over to it over time!
@@LongIslandFishGuy She is a Motoro stingray. When I tried feeding her with vac tube she keeps backing away. I will keep trying it . I am a huge fish person. I have 7 tanks all fresh water. I am getting my house ready for a 4000 gallon tank. 55 gallon is my smallest tank. Thanks for all of your advice.
You should have way more followers! Awesome trick though with the gravel vac. Love your tanks, i wish you could get more popular! If everyone in the fish hobby knew these tricks we would be so much better set for LA FIRST STINGRAYYY
Awesome video. Can I ask what is you substrate for your stingray. I have one but my substrate is light and when he tries to bury himself he makes a mess. Looking for something a little heavier and easier to clean. As well mine loves smelts.
@@LongIslandFishGuy not sure want to sort of know what i can do with the tank, 6x2x2 feet. im not fussy on the type want to know what types i can put in it
Mines a saltwater California ray and he doesn’t really want to eat any adobo day ? He’s in a 125 with 1 puffer that’s it he just wants to hide and comes out to swim every 10 to 20 minutes
Long Island Fish Guy thanks for replying I have had him about now he’s a little more active and is eating a mix called chunky finally he seems to like to be buried though and I know they are delicate fish so making one wrong move definitely scares me water is at 74 degrees 8.0 ph 0 ammonia but there is traces of nitrates i payed 200$ for a emergency water change from a company and he seem better for a few days maybe this is normal for a ray and I just don’t know it’s my first one and saltwater tank at that
Question, I am getting my first motoro stingray pup. I just bought it yesterday and picking up in 1month. To give me time to get my tank ready. My city water comes out of the tap with a ph of around 8 to 8.2. I also have a rodi system for my reef tank and wondering if I should be using 100% rodi water for my ray, half tap half rodi, not use rodi at all? If using 100% rodi water what type of trace elements should be added back into the water? I am leaning towards half rodi half tap water. That should bring my ph down to the low 7's. What are the water parameters across the board that you keep your Rays at? Thanks in advance Thank you in advance. I
You really don’t need RODI water for your ray. Test your tap water 24 hours out of the tap in a cup or something. You’ll get the true read then. My rays are kept anywhere between 6.0 and 7.2
@@LongIslandFishGuy thanks for getting back to me. I have several other tanks set up. I know that my ph is high. If I don't use rodi water, what do you suggest I do to keep a constant ph of 6.5ish. I know from experience that chasing ph is not the thing to do. So I am wondering what you recommend for taking very hard water and making it safe for my ray? Thanks again.
Hey just saw this video while doing my research. Im getting a baby tiny little teacup stingray from Queens. I was told they WILL sting. Is this true? Im not going to pet it or anything but I don’t want to get stung while doing maintenance or cleaning. Great vid btw!
TheReal2Fly They will only use their barb if they feel threatened. If you use caution, you should be fine. Just be VERY careful when handling your stingray, and good luck! Thank you for watching!
Long Island Fish Guy ok gotcha thanks for the reply! One more question for you. I couldnt find any small stingrays in nassau county. Closest was Flushing. Do you know any hobbyist or aquariums stores selling teacups?

Alright I’ll look into that and thank you for the tank size there were very mixed conclusions on what size tank you should have online
The thumbnail looks like the stingray is eating the big fish 😂
Wish I had the space for just one. But much love man keep this fire content going 👍💪🤜🤛

Scott Baker I used Petco sand! It’s pretty “heavy” for sand because it’s just very small rocks.
Awesome thanks for the quick reply. No issues with its belly getting scratched?
Scott Baker Nope! No issues at all! It’s also the same sand at PetSmart... You could also use play sand or pool filter sand.
what size tank should I have for this stingray? I want to add it to my butterfly peacock tank
Jordan Gonzalez It really depends on the type of stingray you get. What size tank do you have? What type of stingray do you want?

Hi 1 aqestion, what's id on fish that's looking like wolf fish but has yellow fin and red spot, i your tank. I like how active it is.
How many times do you need to feed each day?
- Chuan
SantaMonicaHelp Assistant I feed my stingray a good meal once per day!
@@LongIslandFishGuy If I only eat once a day, I will be very hungry :)

SantaMonicaHelp Assistant If you were cold blooded you wouldn’t be 😄
can a stingray mix with discus in a 125 g tank?
Dan H You should be fine!

I have 80 gallon aquarium with 10 discus, I am thinking of getting a stingray, what do u think?
KEYUR NAIK 80 gallons is too small for a stingray... I’d wait until you can get a bigger space to accommodate it!
Full size sting Ray's grow to 36inches if you had a 300 gallon tank you might have enough room to keep your sting ray for a year or 2
What kind of pellet food do you recommend? I'm getting my first ray.
Can we keep a turtle with a sting Ray? I have a 350 gallons tank....can they both coexist ? Turtle is 4 year old RES
Evelyn Lysander I would HIGHLY doubt that that would work out
@@LongIslandFishGuy who would get hurt the turtle or the sting Ray?
Does not matter not a good idea

Hello, what kind of stingray do you recommend for a tank of 125 gallons and, Can I mix it with my African cichlids?
marcos lira Only rays that get to stay 12-15 inches... I’d highly recommend NOT mixing rays with African Cichlids....
