Some sharks can live their lives in fresh/brackish water environments as juveniles. Though, I am sure he was referring to what people call freshwater sharks.

As soon as u said u kept them for 10yrs plus i was saying rays and this whole remodel of the gallery is starting to make sense with the need of another massive tank

[@JPsPetNation]

I agree . I think he is going to go for a big salt water tank with the Ray's that be amazing to see s big salt water tank . Think about the set ups he can do and the amount of big fish he could keep inna big tank like his fresh water one

I really enjoyed the detailed education! I know about the freshwater rays from what you have posted but I’m sure I’ve missed some. But I would absolutely love ❤️ if you could maybe start a series? Like a species spotlight? Especially with the new saltwater rays! They are just spectacular ✨🎉🥳❤️ I’m so happy you’re finally doing the gallery the way you always wanted! I can see how much happier you are and that’s awesome 😎

[@gravestuck]

i like having the unboxing and fish added to the aquarium in the same video, and prefer it. feels more like a complete video and not dragged on into two videos

[@fbisurveillancevan1635]

Joey, while its not a requirement, having a small grain sand for the bottom of a saltwater ray tank is a good idea. They like to bury in the sand. It can't be too coarse or they will scratch their bellies. Not sure on what they say about freshwater ones. I have no experience with freshwater rays.

[@MaddieGraffeo]

people suggest fine grain sand for rays and sharks because it is less likely to scratch their sensitive bellies.

[@stirhaven1981]

It also looks so much better. I also wished there was some invertebrates, it feels so empty without a actual reef community

[@stirhaven1981]

too bad that can't happen with the stingrays

[@GR-uc1gq]

Just throw in a bunch of school fish and it'll look more alive. Anthias looks great

[@BlondLanfear]

Omg I fell in love with these on my scuba diving adventures in the Red Sea. So majestic. Can't quite picture them in an aquarium setting but I'm sure Joey will treat them as well as is possible.

[@chrisrios2640]

Only a surprise if you don’t follow Joey on IG. I’ve been impatiently waiting for this video.

[@CodakProvision]

Excellent simple explanation. You've sparked my interest in this species. Good Video!!

[@happyman1731]

You should put sand in the aquarium for the rays to dig in

[@beluga9042]

Good idea :D

might be easier for quarantine to not have sand, i'm sure eventually they'll have some

I agree itnisnstsrting to look so good now like it was meant to look like at the start he is going back to the things he enjoys doing and the Ray's are amazing they really are breath taking and salt water ones are just so cool. I never see them on KZbin before what is so good to see him having them

[@truegooner3523]

Thanks For the Reply JP. I’ve been loving this channel since I first starting using You tube and to see the transformation of the gallery over that time has been a pleasure. It give regular one tank guys like me the chance to almost live the experience with him. It’s the honesty I love the most !

[@justinejay7670]

They're so gorgeous. I love the little blue spots. Super excited to see the new aquarium room x

[@MoneyMarcMes]

You need to get some fine sand in that tank for the rays. Rays like to sift through it and look for food. Very fine oolitic sand.

[@robertbocklage1249]

Oh thank you mdiesel, he just said he had 10 years experience I think he know what yes doing

[@bettatimestories807]

Exciting stuff, Joey! Love the look of those rays, they are indeed beautiful, in colouration, patterning, and those long tails. Thanks for the info on freshwater ray evolution, that's really fascinating! I'd only run across a story or two about freshwater evolving from saltwater, and another couple going the other way... You are really going flat out with the renovation, look forward to further developments!

[@emangervacio1079]

They look gorgeous man! And good to know that you found a responsible supplier. I'm from the Philippines and although I know that there's a lot of beautiful fishes here, I've never seen this type of ray in person... I've yet to get in to the saltwater aquarium but been in the aquascaping hobby for 2 years now. More power to you!

[@TheOnlyValken]

Ok I have to ask for a stingray care video. I'd love to see your process of caring for these beauties. From your tank design to water parameters to food choices. I love these rays so don't leave me hanging!

[@JoshHind]

Joey : says he’s the first one to breed the botsmanni stingray in captivity like it’s no big deal Me : In shock “ I can’t even keep a fish”

[@sdsmth1]

To help explain what Joey is talking about with the physiology of the stingrays. Basically, it is because of osmosis. In a saltwater environment, fish species (teleosts, which includes elasmobranchs) can passively transport salts built up in the body using the osmotic gradient created by the salt water, meaning they don't have to pee or poop it out, it just passes through areas on their bodies and works with the water parameters. In freshwater, the osmotic gradient forces fish to use active transport, so they have to convert all the salts to waste like ammonia and poop and pee it out. Therefore, freshwater fish create more solid waste than saltwater, making tank maintenance a little easier in a saltwater system.

[@Yessirrrsz]
