Ray without food can last how long?
 
curious abt if really need to go overseas, what is a safe period that ray can go starving without any issue.

aro for a big one can go a month no issue... what abt rays?

asking for knowledge so newbies can know without worrying too much.
esp i do go short trips to JB overnight.
and might have some other trips 4days where no one at home.


5" = days
8" =
10" =
12" =
15" =

if bad , i might need to find boarding tank from anyone ahahhaa

the longest mine ever go was a 21'' big mama went starving for coming to around 3 weeks ( she was very healthy and fat before starving ) and another 16'' mama after give birth went starving for around 1.5 weeks

buy more gs n leave inside. if u have other big rays inside then very risky.

will take this time to pump it up... feed mp morning and night daily
mine is a small eater and damn slow....

must push the mp to near its front then eat.... not like my motoro last time ... gobble the food like mad.

and this BD of mine... also dun like to eat till full....
morning is 1 cube, at night is 2-3 cube
my mp is cut till 3-4 cube size for easy feed.
if i cut too small like bits , then it dun like..... so ignore.
only cube or bigger piece then eat, as like if it like to chew it.

hmmmmm

Hahaa.. every fish have its own character. . Looks like u got to find some help to feed him once when u away ..
I also have a stubborn sakura.. eat only fgs.. also eat a bit only.. pelvic bone show liao.. been like that for 2 mths... when feed with live gs it will eat.. I stop live gs.. I thought it will soon be on my dinner table.. but it's still alive after 2 mths.. :)..

And I thought this picky sakura will up the lorry when I was away for 6 days. . It did not.. instead the smaller active sakura kana makan..

But I have another sakura now 18 inch. . Big big eater.. eat anything and anytime... ;)

Train your ray to take pellets. Then can use auto-feeder to feed ray when overseas.
