	What do i feed the freshie stingray
Hooben Big Fish Posts: 346 Kudos: 219 Registered: 27-Oct-2002	I'm thinking about ordering two freshwater stingrays, can't remember what they are. I know they are not teacups. My tank is 110 gallons and I have a silica sand substrate. (pool filter sand) My lfs has stated they will eat ghost shrimp. Is that right. I always thought they ate cut up fish from market or something. Help me out. The tank has been cycled with plec*s that will be taken out when the stings arrive! ________________________________________ The calming qualities of a good aquarium are irrefutable

I also hear they eat quite a lot to be in top condition. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

I'm sure they would except other seafood as well, for I have heard of owners spending more money conditioning their rays than tey do on their own meals.
