Jeebes Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm not moving anytime soon but I'd like to know before the time comes and I have to panic and make something up. Whats the easiest way to move a ray from one tank to another? Also best practice for pups? I know I have female and breeding will happen. Should I make a container to float the pups in or move them to a different tank right after birth? Any advice would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Not really any easy way to move adult rays IME. Nets can be tricky because you want to get them in head-first, which then leaves the tail slashing around. I found a rubbermaid-type wash basin worked the best; just use a net to direct the rays towards the basin, and dump out some of the water so it's just covering the rays. I've done the same thing with pups, just using a smaller container. I moved my pups to a different tank immediately, filled completely with water from the main tank. Less worries than something floating in the main tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynoch Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Small rays I use a rubbermaid container like Kyle large rays I use a rubber fishing net. I've done both with pups, kept them in a floating bin and moved them into a new tank depending on tank space available. Do either right after birth.
