Force feeding my blue spot ribbon tail plate eating snake fish

[spit.fire]

Last update. The stingray didn't make it. My wife sent me a message today saying he died. For anyone who decides at any point that they want a stingray please use this thread as a reminder of why they should not be brought in from the wild.

I am sorry to hear that the fish did not make it.

At the time I posted I was unaware that there was a previous thread and in that thread you rescued this fish from a LFS
Accordingly I saw this thread "as feeding instructions necessary for the care of this fish", which attracted some other reefers to post that they would also attempt this as well.

That is why I posted that I was surprised that other reefers did not find this thread objectionable.

Good job on owning up on that one Neasco. I think the tang police have an important job in this hobby to remind us of the consequences of bad purchases and poor husbandry of these live creatures.

Sorry the ray did not make it, I commend your efforts.
