That's really exciting. I learn alot through your effort. Maybe just seperate ng the male at this stage,would of been the old timers advice. Hard to really know without more research . Thinking that in nature the female would of been a further distance away and found a way to raise it, since th ey carry rather lay eggs.

Hi joe.. I have 6 inch Motoro stingray currently in a 100 gallon tank. I have had him for about three months now. But he hasn't pooped for the past week. He is still eating but I'm not seeing any poop in the tank. Is that. Normal if not what do I do. I was thinking of soaking his food in an epsom salt solution what do you think??

Sorry to get off topic, But is there a stingerless ray/non toxic fresh water variety?

Any info would be dearly loved. Thanks sincerely Kristin

I hope you have more luck in the future and breeding them, With any marine fish or mammal you run major risks of them having complicated births or babies that are not viable and anyone in the fish industry understands that, so I hope people weren't too hard on you for what happened. It could easily happen to anyone. I am glad the female is healing up, They are both gorgeous. Donating the baby for biology purposes is amazing and really awesome for you to do, I am guessing you donated the pup to Dalhousie university in their marine biology department, which is an amazing university and one of the only universities that offer marine biology. I am located in moncton and breed axolotls on a large scale and getting larger, I really love all of your videos, I just recently used your tank resealing video to reseal one of our large tanks. All of your advice is amazing and we tend to go by it here a lot even with the axolotls. :) We hope we can someday have the same kind of recognition for our axolotl breeding, and our youtube channel, we would like to make our channel more professional in the future like yours. We are amazed at all your work! Please keep it up! Look forward to seeing new videos!

Hii there mate!! love all your videos!! im a great lover of fishes too nd love to spend time with them!! I'd like to share a tip. While freezing the dead stingray or any other rare fish, Try to use DISTILLED WATER, so that the ice remains crystal clear & the fish is clearly visible unlike normal water, where the ice isn't that clear enough!!

Adam Qureshi
Adam Qureshi - 8 years ago
I have a couple of questions:
1. How do you know the difference from male to female in your Stingrays.
2. How do you know if she is pregnant, if you are a busy person and cant really spend time looking after your stingrays to know their habits and life on regular basis.
3. Why didn't you separate the mother with the baby, rather just separate the baby? Maybe the mother would have supported or taken care of the baby in its crucial stage. Maybe he could have lived on or atleasts in the presence of a familiar touch....

You have quite a collection of interesting and informative videos; we are binge watching over here at my place. I wanted to ask why your tanks are bare. Is there a particular reason for it? Does it help keep the tank cleaner? Do your fish prefer it? Just curious. Thanks.
Arnold Chang
Arnold Chang - 8 years ago
In a previous video he said that they are bare in order to not take away focus from the fish, or stingrays. Of course being easier to clean is always a reason as well.

Keep up the good work. Again Thank you.

I just have a question, My Discus Pair hide their Wrigglers on the Sponge of the DIY Moving Bed that you taught me how to make. If that safe for the Wriggler? or should I turn off the air pump of that Moving Bed? Sponge is coarse BTW... 
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 9 years ago
The sponge is fine. The problem is the color of the discus vs the color of the sponge. If your discus are a light color, the fry will be more so attracted to the sponge than anything else. So I would let this batch play itself out and see what happens. then adjust from there. This wont be the last time they spawn, so take advantage of the opportunity to see what works best for you.

so if she gets pregnant again you will divide them up to limit the stress he's putting on her? how will you know when she's pregnant?
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 9 years ago
I will divide them if I have to yes. The females back will become enlarged, and when she sits still.... you can see the pups moving in here back. Her belly will be the same. The further along she gets, the bigger she will be... until its undeniable. That will really depend on how many is in her though. The older and larger she is, the more she can carry. She will also eat a LOT more. Other than that, it depends on how well you know the ray. She only had 1 this time, so it was easy to overlook even if i was keeping an eye on her.

Joey, in many ways this may be one of the most important videos that you've made.  It is important for all of us hobbyists to understand and take to heart that we are entirely responsible for the well-being of our fish.  In a way it is like parenthood.  Our fish are 100% dependent upon us.  It is up to us to make sure they are properly fed, housed and cared for.  If we don't maintain our tanks and nurture our fish then if bad things happen it happens because our actions or inaction.

Having said that, when bad things happen we can't beat ourselves up over it.  We have to learn and improve, not give up.  I think you've got a wonderful attitude about it and this video perfectly illustrates it for us all.  We all have successes and we all experience failure.  The key is to let our failures mean something by learning from them and moving forward.

Glad to know your female ray is healing up so quickly.  And by the way, I had no idea rays were livebearers.  That's what I love about this fish tank community here on YouTube: the more we all share the more we all learn.  Thanks again.  And as a side note, I enjoy videos like this that explore the behavioral aspects of keeping fish like this.  I hope you'll do more videos like this (hopefully minus the tragic aspects) in the future.

I think ultimately, too many people are afraid to admit fault or mistake.. or even that they don't know something. Which is a big problem in the hobby. Everyone is an expert.. no one wants to learn. (Obviously not everyone, but it seams that way at times). I felt by leading by example, that it would benefit more people than not. Glad you share some of the same views my man!

do you think rays will breed in a busy tank with lots of other fish? I keep 2 rays, male and female in a display tank with lots of tank mates, spotted silver dollars, some surinamensis geophagus and a few different catfish. there is a lot of constant activity but no real hostility or damage done to or by anyone except the female ray last week had what looked like a bite out of her disc, i saw no other damage to her or anyone else and honestly wasn't sure what had happened. now i'm wondering if the male tried to or did in fact mate with her. if thats the case I have to set up another tank and study up on the breeding of rays. do you have any thoughts on this as I did not intend to breed them and honestly thought with all the activity in the tank it would prevent them from breeding.
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 9 years ago
Once the male is ready... he's ready. It wont mater whats in the tank, as long as its not picking at the rays.

If you have constant problems with debris settling in your tank, you need more circulation or perhaps more strategically placed circulation of what you already have.

I liked this a lot.  Learning about the animals is why I come here in the first place so seeing how odd these are was great.  Its nuts that this is a standard spawning practice.  Nuts that she does not at any point use that barb to defend against the male who is biting chunks out of her.  Nuts that afterward they can't wait o get back together.  Odd creatures.  But in good hands.  I also liked your attitude through out your process. I loved you saying that if something goes wrong its your fault.  Real talk..  Thanks again Joey.

+The king of DIY Totally agree with your opinion we are all responsible for what happens in our tanks. I consider myself as only a custodian of my fish and corals and I'm there to make it as good as possible for them while they reside here. But we all screw up occasionally and we have to take responsibility for our screw ups or bad judgement.
I'm having a hard time at present with a Rose bubble tip Anemone was fine for 4months until I cleaned my pumps and pipes out, now it wont settle or eat its taking up a lot of time trying to save it.

Joey I think you should do more of these types of video's as they are brilliant. I'm the same as you when you say everything that happens in a aquarium is our fault. We put them their so we need to baby sit them. I hope the female ray gets better soon and gives some gorgeous pups. I really want to get into the breeding seen. But I want to get a really large show tank first. I think I know the answer but if you where to have a huge "show" tank, would you have LOADS of small fish or a few large fish? Hope you answer joey.
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 9 years ago
My answer is always an odd one on this. I have kept a LOT of big fish in my time, and would much rather provide for smaller fish than large...BUT my favorite fish just happen to be large, so i just deal with it. I would much rather keep and care for something i really want, than settle for something else. So i would go with a just having a few large fish... but they would be show fish.

SunShineMoto
SunShineMoto - 9 years ago
Hay Joey great video.. I work at a fish store an one of the ways we keep females from getting to beat up in our tanks is to keep 2/3 females per male.. it seems to distribute the agression. I have personaly done this with many tropical fish but we cant keep stingrays here in Florida.. I beleve there is only one breed that is legal..so my question is, do you think adding another female would lower your agression and improve your chances of getting a healthy pup?
SunShineMoto
SunShineMoto - 9 years ago
Yea once you put the cost in there like that it makes sense.. if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for your rays when you got them?
The king of DIY
The king of DIY - 9 years ago
Sure would... but I'm not looking to actually breed the rays. Its not a goal of mine. I just enjoy them. However, if it happens, then great. With that said, i understand and am well aware that more than 1 female would be ideal,(I used to keep a trio) The best number is 1 male for every 2-3 females. BUT these are not cheap rays. I would not want just any ray. I would want to select it. Given the cost, that is common practice. however, i would have a rather difficult time finding a trusted source that actually has a female ray of this size, that i actually like. If by chance i did, i would have to pay a few thousand for it. A black diamond PUP is easily worth $1200. Add in shipping and other costs and we get to $1500 fast. NOW find someone that is willing to sell a breeding size female(no one is insane enough to do that) let alone a bunch to select from... and you can easily triple that price. I would have to add in a large female, no question about it. At the end of the day, if i wanted to start a breeding operation, I would have done it right the first time. HOWEVER... breeding high end fish is a nightmare for all of the reasons related to selling, and the main reason i stopped breeding hundreds of discus.  Perhaps in a few years, i will expand to breeding rays or keeping larger amounts of them, but for now i just enjoy them for what they are.

Well looking forward to your next video, keep it humming(the sound of the tank,something me and some friends say when we talk about our fish hobby.

Thank you for the quick reply I will look back in your archives to see if I can find that tank divider video. I wasn't even looking for a reply for days but I appreciate it.

Thanks. I have a video on a divider already. Although, not pretty. Its what i use, as i can make it cheap for any size tank. I did make another acrylic divider before as well that you could barely see in the tank, but that was not cheap. Your probably better off buying a divider for a tank that is 12" wide or less though.

Sorry about the baby ray man, you are right to say people should admit fault, too many people blame it on other things.
