2 qns relating to rays keeping. Will be getting a pup over the coming wkend. Current readings have been consistent since mid April 2015.
PH 6.0
AM 0.25
NO2 0
NO3 10
Results from api test kit.

Only did 1 water change 10% on 4th July 2015 since tank was setup early April 2015.

Qn 1: is there really a need for frequent WC if add ray in?

Qn2: food variety is always a debate west vs east as seen in the reptile hobby. Do people really create so many varieties of food for Aro n ray on a daily basis? Simply put it is does the average hobbist have so much time to get or prepare variety of food?

AM should try maintain 0.

Ray eat and shit alot, therefore it is advisable to do at least once a week water change. I do about 50% twice a week.

Food to me is a matter of want or dont want. Do u eat same kind of food everyday? What I do for my weekly shopping is get 1 week supply of kunning, market prawn, sotong, fgs. Morning maybe just feed Kunning, Night feed sotong and MP mixed. Inbetween I will feed fgs.

Yeah just test again pH still at 6. Maybe should use cloral chip.
Actually I eat almost the same thing everyday. As for pets, fishes are easier. In reptile keeping, the choices of food are limited locally resulting to excerise control to prevent the reptile from being hooked to a particular food such as MW which creates only unnecessary obese problems

Are pellets made of only 1 ingrident? There r also poor and gd quality pellets. % of protein % ash % water %....... there r many combinations. End of the day fishes die or not also depending on many other factors not only food.
