I am glad you are transparent with your audience. It really helps us as viewers as far as what to do in different situations. I appreciate it! Keep up the great work!
one of the most passionate youtubers I have watched to date and iv seen a lot, im subed to most, but this guy deserves a lot more support on here for the effort he puts in and the love he has for these wonderful aquatic animals under 1000 subs is very surprising with this level of dedication. Keep up the great work and the vlogs my friend :)
Thanks for watching. The more support and subscribers I can get will help to encourage me to continue making these videos.
Spot on! Also subbed 😁
Thank you Kevin for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to more great videos from you.
More videos!!!!! I'd say once or twice a week so excited to see more of your rays
Excellent Kevin educational video good idea :)
What you do is absolutely amazing and inspiring! Keep up the great work dude. One day I'll have the funds to get a really nice day from you guys 👊🤘
Your wife is so sweet, she should be in more videos. You guys make an AWESOME team!!!
Thanks for the share. I have wondered about small tanks and if it is possible. Congrats on the pups again.
What you do is very interesting.
Great video Kevin What temperature do you keep your tanks at?
Thank you for sharing
Just showing some love for the channel✌✌
Kevin. Can you tell me the best water parameters for keeping and breeding Rays.
I have hard tap water. Do they require softer water to breed?
have you breed any of your batman stingrays together to see if the pups come out as batman or regular stingrays
Thanks for the information.. But hope you can give us as a hobbyist a guard & hope you got more videos coming up..
What’s your filtration on your 8ft racks you pulled the pups out of?
For smaller tank, like your 3X3 tank, how often do you change water? What percentage? Do you have to use a heater? Maintain at what temperature? Thank you.
Is a bare bottom tank better than having sand or is it just preference
In your experience, from what size the motoro stingray can start to breed..???
Love your channel , love the videos, maybe 1 day soon I'll be setting up a f/w tank and need a couple rays .... Maybe you can point me in the right direction !!!
Kevin, I'm sorry you lost that pretty little pup. I love your videos.
Man how u manage all this with the water changes that's tons of ro
Is there a way to build something that the pups can go hide in that will keep them safe until you can get them out of the tank.
Is drip system considered as water change?
you the best
Hi kevin greeting from indonesia. As always nice informative video. I learn alot about freshwater stingray from your channel. I do have a question regarding stingray pup. Is it true that the pup need to be in shallower water, max depth of 50cm, and if it stays at too long in depth above 60cm they will die from the water pressure?
Rays want sand to hide. That’s how they live
What is the smallest tank for new born pups. And how much for 1
Hola amigo esas bolsas que usas dentro del tanque que son??? Gracias
What is the size of the tank at 2.45
8:43 bless you hihi
In your professional opinion what do you think about my set up. I have a six foot Long by two feet wide by two and a half feet tall I was told it was a 225 I have one motoro Hybrid Stingray in there and a leucistic white arowana , With four fluval fx6's For Filtration. In according to the fluval Manual it says after adding Biomedia And sponges it knocks the fx 6 down to about 560 GPH. So I am approximately turning this Aquarium over 10 times an hour with 60 to 70% water changes every 10 days. Do you think I will be able to keep them For their lifetime. This question is for you kevin but i'm sure the comment clones will let me have it , I appreciate any feedback from your professional opinion
How much are pups?
thanks for information! what are all the white bags?
Sharp eye!!! It's filter media for new system. Video on that will come soon.
@@StingrayBiology Thanks. i'll keep following! learning a lot from you
How big where the tanks you got the pups out?
96x36x24
Thx!
Are pup rays born with a barb?
Yes
That's so sad, seeing her like that
What is the average price for a stingray?
Lawrence L around 80-160 for like diamonds or pearl stingrays
Maybe 2k for a bd.
Why do you call the baby stingrays pups????
that's the name for babies
Why do you call baby dogs pups
What’s the point in even keeping them in those horrible plain tanks, it’s sad for them, you seem to be passionate but pearly not about their actual quality of life
Most keepers of stingrays keep bare tanks to ensure water quality is ideal as they produce a lot of waste I would do research before judging an experienced breeder
Because its a farm they see them as money not animals
Looks all to cruel I get you breed to make money rather than love for animals I get that but you could be doing more to give them some kind of decent life there are breeders out there that have mazive pools for there rays to go in I duno I just think some of them rays shoukd be in a bigger tanks
Am I missing something? I don't understand why it's ethical/humane to house so many animals in a small tank for "maximum production" and to be kept in such an under-stimulating and barren tank. Is there something I'm not understanding about this?
Kiernan Haney I’m reality it’s not really humane to keep any animal. Nothing will ever beat the wild. Not saying you should keep 12 rays in a 55 gallon. But what Kevin is doing really isn’t that outrageous. Seen much worse.
@@nleplow69 Yes, they could be dirty tanks and they are not, but what an awful and sedentary life to live. Many pets are not given this low standard of a life. Many are, but that's not something we should be proud of or promote, like this.
Most stingray keepers have no substrate or ornaments in the tank it is about water quality to ensure good water quality and healthy rays
@@kiernanhaney I know this is quite old but I run no substrate at all. It's also about safety when the rays shed their barbs. In sand, and with larger rays, a barb can be missed and the ray can sting themselves on their belly or try and eat the barb and sting themselves in their mouth. The king of diy has a video on this very thing. I've seen it a lot actually. It's not such a concern in the wild but in tanks it is. The biggest things with rays is clean fresh environments and this is the best way to provide it. I give my rays KONG dog toys to play with and they enjoy shoving them around and jumping on them
