I see some members here bought wild caughts from Oliver. How do you acclimatize the new rays? What medication do you use to treat them (e.g. deworm)?
I plan to get couple of small wc marbles from Oliver in the near future unless anyone has tank bred ones in the Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal area
I will keep them alone in a 75g bare bottom tank for the first couple of months. Then they will be moved to a 225g tank (30" wide) with sand bottom and a HBRTG arowana. Hopefully the marbles don't get near as big as the motoros.
What type of sand do you recommend? How much nitrates can they tolerate? For the discus tank I change water to keep the nitrates below 10ppm. Is that good enough for the marbles?
thanks.
