Sir, you are human and humans make mistakes. My daughter was involved in a wreck 2 weeks after getting her driver's license. She was fortunate to walk away with just a couple bruises. Can't say the same for the car. She made a mistake in a pressure situation. I will tell you like I told her, learn from your mistakes and don't repeat them. If we don't make mistakes, how will we ever learn to be better? I am sorry that you lost your rays. Don't beat yourself up for being human. You will learn and grow from it. The beauty is your followers benefit from your experiences good or bad and you taking your valuable time to teach others about the hobby I think overcomes all the haters. I know you will get back up from this. You never let a setback keep you down. Hang in there Kev, sometimes good things come out of bad situations. Take care bro.

Can’t imagine how sad you and your family must be losing these majestic creatures. Thank you for the warning on air pumps. It’s so easy to not put the backup measures in place, everyone skimps on at least one aspect for a short while for whatever reason, anyone who is smug about this is just lucky not to be caught out in the moment that their ass is hanging out of their pants, and there is not a person out there who doesn’t have those moments.

Things happen to all of us bro. When I kept my first ray I was living in nyc and I had nowhere else to put my 220 gallon tank except the garage. It was winter time in January and the power went out all night and I could do nothing about it bc I was at work on the night shift. When I got home the water temp was 51 degrees. My ray was barely breathing but he was in motionless state. I quickly did water change adding warmer water and he came back to life but only lived for about 2 weeks after that because he never ate and got internal parasites after that huge shock. It sucks but moral of the story is keep going. I now live in CT and have my own fish room with 5 adult rays. Keep going bro and keep learning. Thanks for sharing the experience.

A long, long time ago I flew Kiowa Helicopters for the US Cavalry; we used to study and go over in painful detail video footage and written reports whenever any aircraft crashed regardless of who it was flown by, us or our allies, and as painful and ugly as it was it was very important. So, I really admire you for providing us an after-accident report and explaining what exactly failed. I just now got off my butt and finally ordered a nice UPS with a good-sized battery from Amazon, I already own one for my computer, so I always put it off saying to myself, "oh, I will just unplug the PC one and use it if there is a power outage". But no, that is assuming you will be home and immediately notice the power is out. So, thank you and keep on teaching, and absolutely do not give up.

Man, what a bummer to hear this. Sorry for your loss, I know how important those rays have been to you. But you can't blame your self for this. Taking responsibility is one thing, but blaming yourself over the what ifs, or the should haves is not gonna help you or your fish. You could have done everything perfect and life is still gonna show you that faults still exist even in the best of circumstances. This hobby has changed and evolved in so many positive ways because of people like you by just being transparent and honest. You are showing people the realities of this hobby, and it's absolutely needed. This hobby needs people like you. To keep teaching and educating all of the new fish keepers coming up. You built this community by sharing your journey and documenting your experiences.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is so sad, but you are guiding the community to understand with compassion and information on how to work through challenges when they occur. I hope you are able to find more stingrays when you have a chance, they seem like amazing companions for any fishroom.

Your experience already saved my tank,after watching your video I went and bought a battery backup for my tank,it actually cost me more than what I paid for my tank..low and behold I walk in yesterday after work and the fridge had tripped out the power,the power here has only tripped 3 times in the 15 yrs I've been here ,I only backed up my filter and air pump and they were working away fine,thanks for the kick up the arse I needed to set up a backup system sorry you had to lose those lovely rays though.

I’m so sorry Kev, I know even long term aquarists can lose fish and it’s never easy. Especially even more so for you! I can’t imagine how upset you are. Accidents happen you can’t blame yourself. Love your site, again I’m so so 😢 for your loss. 💔😢

They were so gorgeous, I’m so sorry for the loss of them. I have a air pump that is battery powered for just such an event. It’s definitely necessary now with all the crazy weather we get these days. I feel really bad and heartbroken for you.
