Pit bulls aren’t aggressive though.. most misunderstood breed

[@yumafrank563]

Boesemani are like fine wine. Gets better with age

[@firdj]

Oh my god!!! The boesemanis are from my country!!! No wonder I felt so attracted to them. Here I am admiring their beauty and not knowing that they're from right here. Thanks for the shutout 🇸🇷 #proud #surinamese . You just got yourself a new subscriber.

"It's not like I'm trying to trigger the behaviour " 2 seconds later "ok now let's see if we can trigger it" 😅

[@pauledwards5607]

I love the stories about people going to areas and going and getting what they want. That's pretty cool. I really like the videos with more info on the species. And the back stories.

[@justwho1]

Great Kevin this is one of your best videos 10 of 10 .I am looking forward to the next regards Håkan / Sweden

[@DanielGonzalez-gd3dx]

[@dougsotto9825]

[@AP-vc7up]

I just can't resist to click on your video after watching that thumbnail what a beauty 😍😍😍😍 never seen such stingray

[@wafflestrawberry]

The thumbnail just beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@last9emperor]

Awesome video! You should make this a series where you talk in details about breed of stringray. Black Diamond next?

[@kalebarthur4574]

I know I'm pretty off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?

[@onyxdeshawn1997]

@Kaleb Arthur lately I have been using flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@elliottmack1887]

@Onyx Deshawn Yea, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

[@kalebarthur4574]

@Onyx Deshawn Thanks, signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!

[@onyxdeshawn1997]

@Kaleb Arthur no problem xD

[@divemasteruk]

Love the rays and videos, have you ever thought about keeping and breeding salt water torpedo rays ?

[@travisknapcik3083]

awsome Kevin!! keep up the hard work man .!! would love to purchase some t-shirts from you if you have any thank you !!

[@leighsheltonnoseypottercom]

I guess when they are younger they are far more vulnerable so stay the colour of the substrate but as they get bigger they don't have so much reason too hide

[@deandavis8165]

Thank goodness you're back, Kevin, was worried about you and the fam. Or that doucheschooners drove you off with their nastiness. Great video, and sincerely appreciate your info being formery in import/export and animal care.

[@tomfish1312]

What material is the screen on your basket ?!

[@NaturesWhim]

My future project!

[@kellyfarrell8180]

So how do u know everyone got food if there fought off Everytime they might not get enough just asking and what do u feed the pups thank you this was a cool video

[@theblackcobra911]

Hi Kevin. How come the boesemani on 5:00 and 09:00 and 11:00 look so different. I had a male boesemani like the ones on 11:00 but always thought it was a hybride. Is it because of the quality? Or more like they are caught in different rivers or so?

[@danielclark8094]

Stunning rays there mate you have done a sweet job 👌 can you ship to Britain and what would be the cost? Or would I go through preditory fins? I'm wanting an albino ☺️❤️

[@fishlife1013]

Also what's your opinion and how you feel about the nitrogen cycle because i understand it takes a while to cycle a freshwater aquarium but i see people just skip it and not have any problems then others flip there whole tank

[@sbm2651]

Can you do a video regarding stingray care and there requirements for tank sizes depending upon species. If you have already made one I apologise I couldn't find that just point me out the video 🙂 thank you 🙂🙏

[@joelavilez2645]

If you don’t want one of them I’ll take one lol 😆 love the black ones!

[@thayresanders]

My ray hasn’t ate in days it’s just swimming around and hovering should I be worried ? Pls help

[@douglasbeeren2020]

Do you see a breeding line with Some characteristics? I only know de boes from New World .

[@davidulrich5055]

I love the videos and the rays but I can’t have one yet not until I move no room

[@TRG528]

How much are you selling boesemani pups for?

[@BBWBeauty]

Can you even ship this time of year? I live in Maine and would love to get one of your pups but it’s super cold up here!!

[@StingrayBiology]

Not a problem.

[@j_toledo419]

Ever kept a short tail river ray???

[@fishlife1013]

Aren't datnoidos pulchers illegal in the United states?

[@kellyhewett6112]

I understand it is hard to find a comparison for such aggressive behavior, but pit-bulls really arent that bad if brought up in the correct conditions. Most find them to be wonderful pets. Unfortunately dog fighting rings have given them bad reputations for such sweet dogs. I hope you have a great day either way though! happy holidays!

[@xxzcocopuffzxx4572]

He's talking about a type of stingray

[@kellyhewett6112]

@@xxzcocopuffzxx4572 sorry it took so long to reply. I was aware he was talking about the rays but he did make reference to the actual dog

[@kellyhewett6112]

@Lonely Grandsoul thank you for the insight! Im always happy to learn something new about any dog. Alot of any type of media can be misleading unfortunantly, hence why I believed such

[@lynnbonica4342]

They are beautiful rays...how's the one you removed the stinger from doing? Is he okay? 👍

[@StingrayBiology]

I will be doing an update on him in next video

What lil sod bags they r 🤣... it’s a shame they don’t realise that u will give em enough for them all lolol... it’s all natural behaviour, somethin I love seeing n u can’t stop them fighting as much as u would love to xxx Ps plz do more videos like this as Id love to learn more xxx

[@thefishylife6823]

Wow that datnoid in the bosemani tank has a big fat Buddha Belly!!!! Beautiful fish , absolutely stunning!!! What do I need to buy a ray in Florida? I have my aquaculture certificate but that only allows me to sell fish to pet stores, I think?

[@StingrayBiology]

If it's on your fwc permit then I can ship to you.

[@thefishylife6823]

@@StingrayBiology ok cool, from what I understand I can do that over the phone with fwc!! I'm really excited now!! I'll be in touch!

[@evelyn_r]

Lol they’re like pancakes: light and uniform like when you put the batter on the pan and the longer they stay in the pan, the more they brown and develop whiter sections that lifted off the pan 😂😂😂 I knew they were pancakes with a barbed tail! 😜

[@patshhi4620]

Hey Kevin. I thought at first the aggressive ray on the right was aggressive because he’s missing an eye. But then you showed us the one on the left, and he’s not missing an eye. You said the aggression is unique to that type of ray. Do you think it’s just genetics?

[@StingrayBiology]

It's specific to this species. The one with no eye was wild caught like that. It didn't happen in my tanks.

[@patshhi4620]

Thank you Kevin.

[@j_toledo419]

Still shocked at the size of that Datnoid

[@craigbrown3635]

Pitbull lol😂

[@miawilliams1497]

Can you show how the stingrays mate?!!!....

[@StingrayBiology]

I will try to catch it on video

[@haohao-hk3eq]

bro..no need take out the sharp tail shell from the shrimps 1st?

[@StingrayBiology]

Not for the larger rays.

[@kindtimetraveler]

I’d be aggressive too if I had to share such a tiny space with that many roommates!!!!!😒

[@sallydorsey1851]

Be carefull what you say about wild caught

[@johnrafaelsajulga3246]

sada

[@taeviansworldofreptiles3828]

I don't like that you use pitbulls. They get a bad enough rep without people constantly referring to every bad tempered aggressive animal to pitbulls which are actually really sweet species. Human make them aggressive they are not by nature.

[@kew7330]

You r the only breeder I know that catches from the wild to satiate your need for you pet trade 👎👎👎 very disappointing but not surprising ..

[@StingrayBiology]

Tropical fish are caught from the wild all the time throughout the world. 95% of saltwater fish is wild caught. Freshwater are both wild caught and captive bred. The breeding we do helps to relieve the pressure of over harvesting wild caught fish.

[@leonardotheuseless4188]

Only breeder? I have never heard of a large fish breeder that doesnt take something from the wild. About 50% of monster fish are wild caught.
