My 6 week old pups

[dean1956]

i bought this female California Round Ray July 10th and didnt even know she was pregnant untill 6 weeks ago my wife and i cam home from looking at a couple more Rays at a lfs and to our surprise we had to pups waiting for us. Pretty wild huh?

 

[meowzer]

They are soooooo cute.....What are their sizes????

 

[dean1956]

I would say they are probably 6" long and getting close to 3" across the disc. They were about 2 1/4" across when they were born and they are male and female.

 

[meowzer]

WOW....one day you may have quite a few....LOL

 

[hlcroghan]

i love stingrays............they have such great personalities and are so intelligent........

 

[dean1956]

I would like to have 4-6 in the pond, 2 males and 3 or 4 females and who knows they might mate, but not a high probability though

Wow...that is cool. Where do you have this pond/pool at in the house?

 

[dean1956]

In the basement for sure. My wife said no to the pool/bed!

[dean1956]

[crypt keeper]

you post on the other board. That place is dead. How are they doing now?

 

[dean1956]

I'm not sure which one cause i post on 2 others, the one is so strict many have left and alot are tired of their nonsence of lording over you they dont say much and will be leaving their, so if its that one you are talking about its slow anymore and some cant afford the hobby anymore.

I have pics of the build there on photobucket that you can see.

What's your filtration on this thing? You can have people pay to pet the stingrays like in aquariums hahaha

Right now I have just a sump on the kiddie pool but when the pond is up and running there will be a DIY denitrator and I looking for either a large skimmer or as some suggest 2 smaller one because of the cost. Need to skim because I wont be doing as many water changes on that large of a system, but still some per week.

If you set up a nice sized fuge it would go a long way. 55 gallon with 8 inch sand bed full of cheato and rock. That would make the water pretty damn stable for a while. My 30g fuge keeps my 150 pristine. I went to go do a water change last week after about amonth went by. I did a water test. My trates didnt even blip the scale. Tested my 40 breeder with my eel. They were high did a change there.
