Initially, kept the 10" ray in a 4x2½x2ft bare tank with OHF as filtration. When the ray grew to about 15", shifted it to a 5x2½x2½ft tank running on sump. Diet about 3pc pf MP cut into smaller size. Gradually increased the mp to about 7 whole pc, max 9pc.
I did wc at about 20% weekly, add salt and antichlorine, until time when when the ray reached 21" and I hv to let it go. It simply outgrow the size of the tank

Wow this is amazing didn't know rays can grow to that size in 5ft tanks...tks for sharing bro. This is indeed encouraging news for ray keepers who could not afford to have ponds in their house.
p.s. ppl like me
