How To Care For Freshwater Stingrays

[@HENRYANESDRUMS777]

Thank you man! I have a huge tank but I don’t think I’ll add a stingray after watching this, I’m thankful for videos like this !

[@EnglishwithShamim]

great video. I bought stingrays 2 days ago. she is lovely 😍😍😍😍

[@prisnewchapter707]

How are yours, and do you have a problem getting them to eat

[@markj7644]

How are the stingrays and how big is the aquarium

[@emmadong1802]

I'm not even getting a stingray why am I watching this😂

It’s entertainment! I think I’ll probably have one one day also

Interesting video I have a 6 foot long 125 gallon, with a 30 gallon sump, but I'm going to wait until i get a bigger tank before I think about stingrays

[@zion-cs6lb]

Great video bro. Straight to the point

[@grock31]

Very informative. Thx for the lesson. Keep these videos coming you’ll be hitting 1k in no time my friend.

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

Thank you!

[@28kartavya]

Just getting my first ever stingray! It’s a black diamond 8-9” I’ll be keeping it in my monster tank with 2 medium size Asian arowanas and 4 small dollars n an American flag tail. It’s a 5ft tank running on top filter and a canister filter. Please let me know if things I Shd care for and common mistakes while keeping stingrays. Its a bare bottom tank

Oh that stingray looks beautiful my dear. Grabbing more of your time by reviewing your content. Full watch and view!

Thank you! 😃

[@jonathonkritz1218]

O! H! What's Up BuB!!! Hail CBus here!! How about Dwarf Stingrays.? I'm setting up a 125G Discus Com Tank in G-Hanna. What are your recommendations in regards to the Dawrf Spiecies?

[@warrendavies1592]

I’m a new subscriber loved the video loads of info 👍🏼 just what I needed I’m getting a stingray soon so perfect timing

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

Sweet! Rays are so much fun, I’m glad this helped. Keep me updated on what you get 👍

[@warrendavies1592]

No problem will do looking forward to it probly a black diamond! Your stingray has the markings I like so something similar keep up the good vids

[@robloxers3563]

I'm planning to buy a stingray 😀 thanks 👍 for the advice black diamond stingray

Spot on buddy been really looking forward to this video 👍

Thanks bro 👍 I hope this helps you out!

[@jeromeaguilera9311]

Can i keep rays with my bichirs?

[@justindavis2957]

Thanks for the video, I wanted to ask about water hardness as well. Out of my tap it’s pretty hard and I know they need softer water. Any tips would be appreciated.

[@mikejones9850]

Really helpful video there mate 👌🏼

[@Slogoatt]

Love the video man. Just one thing, the black diamond blasting sand isn’t actually sharp. It’s just a standard size and it’s cheaper than normal sand, you could use regular pool filter or playing sand for sand blasting. I do have a question, I’ve been reading allot on rays and water quality and they’re recommending a total TDS of about 70tds. What water do you use for water changes? Ro water?

[@VikingsFan27]

I have been in the freshwater and marine hobby for over 15years. I am thinking about adding a ray to my gar tank. I have a large tank with a large wet dry sump. I am wondering if you use rodi water and if you do what do you add back for trace elements? Also, I am using seachem fluorite substrate. Will that work? This is a planted tank with co2 injection. There is a high turnover rate so o2 sat is fine. Any help would he great. Looking to be as successful as possible. Thanks in advance.

[@lanced8475]

I have a 4inch wide motoro stingray can you tell me how much should I feed per day?

[@fourlegsandatail7882]

I have a 240 litre tank witch is 65G will that be big enough for rays I'm looking for a pair. Thanks

hey Im your #1 fan here in philippines

[@weezer619]

Great video! I would love an update on this video.

[@thomasauger6777]

Good info, I only keep brackish water fish at the moment, has anyone tried keeping stingrays in brackish water ?

[@28kartavya]

So funny 😹

[@daniellekelly6261]

Great video. Is that a sturgeon in the same tank as the stingray?

[@sethbrown97]

Im buying a matoro stingray tomorrow for 600$ to put into the 1,000 gallon pool pond u inspired me to make. Do you have a careguid specifically for the matoros?

[@Fishing_Addiction_Miami]

Wow amazing video!!! Great work!!!

@@mattsmonsterfish1615 your welcome

[@keyurnaik]

I am thinking to keep 10 discus and a stingray in 80 gallon aquarium, what do you think

[@paulbassett5047]

Well you want about 1discus per 10 gallons or about that if it's five gallons of it's ok maybe ten but so it's definitely to small for ten and a rat

[@keyurnaik]

@@paulbassett5047 I do water change once in 2 day and it's 30-40%, doesn't this overcome the 1discus per 10 gallon problem.

[@paulbassett5047]

@@keyurnaik I mean a little but that's to small for even just the Ray but the discus I mean it's ok cause I've kept 6 in a 55 but if you get a new tank for the ray just keep the discus in that

[@jtfalkner]

Would 6x2 be big enough for 1?

[@ianfelicidario745]

I have my pearl ray in my 180gals, just bought it 2 days ago and im planning to make a pond, is 8x5x4ft okay for a pond?

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

Yeah that pond will be a nice size footprint for stingrays 👊🏻 180 makes a great grow out tank!

@@mattsmonsterfish1615 but im mostly concern of my PH, its 8.4 you think its okay or should I make my PH lower? Thanks man!

[@GingerAle4Life]

What brand of pool filter sand do you use? I've read lots of conflicting information about using it and I would love to use it if it's safe since it's cheap

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

I use white play sand from menards

[@kylat.35]

How many stingrays would I be looking at for a 6×6 540 gallon tank

[@Experiment626XxX]

The Crazy Side probably around 10 that’s a crazy tank sir nice !

[@NAMEERKLIFTS]

How many black diamonds could I keep in a 800g (120X40X40) tank? Tank mates are south/central american cichilds, would they be too agressive?

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

You could keep 4-6 adults would be good. As far as cichlids go it’s gonna be hit and miss with that combo. I’ve seen it work and I’ve seen it fail. Just depends on the temperament of both the rays and cichlids 👍 hope this helps!

[@NAMEERKLIFTS]

Ok, if it goes badly I could sell them or tank out clown loaches and add them to another 800g

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

How big are the loaches?

[@NAMEERKLIFTS]

Only around 2-3 inches, they are new. I could put them in another 800 gallon community tank.

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

Yeah stingrays will make a snack out of 2-3” loaches.

[@spottedsaddlebredparaplegicpup]

Does anyone have a link to pool sand? I only see 50# bags for about $30. I couldn’t find anything for $5.

Only if your wanting a planted tank imo

I've seen better -.-

[@saadmaanshahrier]

Can i keep one with 1 arowana and 1 datnoid in 5*2.5*2 with 36*18*18 ? A pearl one!

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

You could as a pup for a while, but it'd eventually outgrow it and you'd need to upgrade bigger.

[@saadmaanshahrier]

@@mattsmonsterfish1615 Don't pearl Stringray get 18-24 max?

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

Yes but still to small for an adult stingray, water volume is key as they put off huge amounts of ammonia. With a adult ray in a tank like that you'd get random ammonia spikes that could kill your fish.

[@saadmaanshahrier]

@@mattsmonsterfish1615 scared 😅 But I can't afford that huge tank. 😑 That's all dream.It might take 10 year to get that tank 😑Still a young guy 😑 Feeding my wants by learning about my dream fish or watching vlog or so! 😐 Isn't there any way to get going with a 5*2.5*2 and a 36*18*18 sump ?

[@pearljameric]

Is a 48x48" tank big enough?

[@mattsmonsterfish1615]

For some breeds of rays yes

[@shunevo0939]

Is these stingrays are poisonous?
