Basic Theory Lesson of Keeping Rays for newbie...

[KoheiRokusaburo]

Just out of curiousity, will the rays use thier sting to pierce their tank mate? ex, rtc , aros , tigers or even kois.

Think depends on the ray. Seems like wc rays more likely to use their stings than cb rays. But when threaten they will use the stings.

I understand too much salt will kill a ray. So what should be the maximum level for rays or should 0% is desired. My water has 0.11% salt now. Can ray take it? I am thinking of keeping ray.

Read from the post ray best at 28 degree temp for the water but if I keep the ray in concrete pond when night time the water can be quite cold. Will the ray be able to withstand the up and down of the temp change (day time to night time)thanks

Hi bros, are we talking about the whole pandan plant or just leaves. Tell me more how this is done. Thanks!

Hi bro, I think the pandan leaves stay above the water line while the roots are submerged to suck the nutrients out of the water
