How to raise ray fish



Rays

< p style="text-indent:2em;">Strays are cartilaginous fish, and their bones are similar to the bones in our ears. Their gill covers are made of multiple plates, which is where their name comes from. Since there is no solid gill cover protection like bony fish, try to avoid touching its gills when fishing to prevent damage to the weak gills. Stingrays don't have swim bladders. When they don't swim, they sink to the bottom of the water.



There are not many species of rays that can be kept in aquariums. They are like large flat pieces, often lying on the aquarium. The bottom of the box doesn't move. They are not very fond of water quality and like to eat squid and shrimp meat. However, rays do not receive artificial feed and must be fed with frozen fish meat.
