That's in a 180, my 300 will be up and running in less than 3 weeks.
He should be in there in about 2 1/2 months.

Very nice AC
I put a deposit on a coral catshark at the lfs. They're gonna hold it for me till I get my 300 goin.
Is the epaulette now in your tank with the PJ and rays?

What were you feeding your blue spotted stingray. Mine just slowly starved itself to death. I am also having problems with my bamboo eating. All he like to eat is squid and only one brand. Does anyone have any advice. I would like to get another stingray but I feel sorry for them if it won't eat. Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe,
Your not the first one to have problems with a bluespot. They rarely do well in captivity. Go with something like a yellow sting ray. They are much more forgiving and very fun to keep. As far as your bamboo goes. If he won't eat a variety, you might want to soak the squid in something like selcon occasionally for added vitamins. Look on the bright side at least he is eating.

Tony, dont get on joe's case bc he tried to keep a blue spotted ray. if you get on him you have to get on jim and many other people who have tried to keep and who have one. everyone has their level. for all you know joe has been in this hobby longer then you and has kept other harder fish and thought he would give a try to a spotted.

Just giving some advice. Not trying to be anyone's mom.
-Jim's was eating when he bought it.
-Most don't eat after being shipped period. Why kill a fish that is known not to survive?
Just my opinion. When you read books and the hardiness scale number is the worst one that it can get.....then you don't buy those.
Zoos and public aquariums have trouble keeping those. Why would you possibly think that you can keep one but zoos and public aquariums cannot. Chances are that they will be more successful than any hobbyist on the home scale. Don't get me wrong triggerfish I would absolutely love to have a blue spotted, and if I thought it was a wise decision I would have one next week, but it just doesn't seem viable until we know more about their dietary needs and environmental surroundings.
AC-sorry about your PJ
Do you recall somebody posting pictures of a remora on here???
Couldda swore I saw some
