Hope you dont take this negatively, I realize it could sound back handed. Imo this is the best video you have made in a while. Extremely interesting, informative, and u made it fun. I cant wait to watch it later with my son he will dig all the ray facts.
I was stung on the ankle by a stingray in San Diego, and it was the single most painful experience I've ever had. Also, it lasted for hours and hours. I was in agony for nearly 12 hours. The doctor in our hotel told me there was absolutely nothing he could do. He suggested I purchase a bottle of tequila, pour half of it on the sting, and drink the other half.
After I graduated high school here in Alaska I got to go to Florida for a week with my sister and our best friend to stay in our friend's grandparents' rental by the beach. It was mating season for stingrays we were told, so they were abundant and we were taught to shuffle through the sand in the water so that they would know we were coming and would swim away. We shuffled our little hearts all week. That last night before we were to fly out the next morning, I shuffled my way back to shore. The last couple steps there was a berm of busted shells and stones I had to step over. One foot over, ok. Next foot, not even 2 feet from shore BAM! Stingray barb in the foot. 😫 that was the most immense amount of pain I have felt at one time in my entire life. Washed that sucker out with hot water and soap and gimped my way home through 4 airports the next day. Still got the scar. 🤣
The reason you run your hand under hot water (and this works with many other venoms as well) is actually to denature (break down) the proteins in the venom. It's like how when you cook an egg, the proteins change dramatically and the egg solidifies, the same thing happens in the venom. It's still there and it still gets into your body, but it can help break it down faster.
I've loved stingrays ever since I watched Steve Irwin at a touch pond when I was a little girl. I turned 30 and finally got to experience a stingray touch pond. The very next day....you post this video solely on stingrays. Love the coincidence and your videos. Thanks for entertaining and educating me for all these years.
I was stung 2 years ago from one of my motoro Ray's. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced. The pain did not subside for over 2 hrs. Lesson learned treat them with the care and respect they deserve.
Bro I just want to say I'm a pretty big fan. Your videos have helped me so much when I started to become a aquarist and you keep teaching me new things about fish and aquariums. Keep it up Joey and thanks for teaching us.
Joey, the hot water is used to denature the proteins that the venom is made of, rendering them useless. It basically unfolds the proteins, and they are no longer able to attach to the cells they are designed to attack. Good video!
I love that Joey is educating himself more on finer aspects of individual fish species, bringing more knowledgeable value to his vids. Don't be too rigid though Joey, we love your humorous human side too!!😁
05:52 The hot water is to denature the proteins. All venom is, is a modified protein the animal produces for various reasons. Things like how water (>110 Fahrenheit), acidity, etc will denature proteins. When I say denature I essentially mean breakdown. That is why your body will run a fever, it is an attempt to denature the proteins in whatever is making you sick. On the flip side, fevers can be extremely dangerous because you don’t want to denature your own proteins. Hope this helped a bit. Peace.
Got to it before me, was gonna say this too. Most marine toxins are heat unstable so they will break down in high heat. You always want to remove whatever you're getting harmed by, barb or tentacle, before submerging the area in hot water, as hot as can be tolerated, as stated
Very interesting video! I would really enjoy a species care video I enjoy learning new and interesting things about all animals. It's nice to learn from you and all your experiences. Thanks as always for sharing !😊
Most animals that are venomous or poisonous are immune to their own type of venom or poison since their biology knows how to regulate and break down what could be harmful amounts of it, so if I had to guess, rays probably aren't affected by the venom, just the stab wound if it's bad.
@@wendigolycan The Crocodile hunter. He was an amazing guy. He had a tv series for a while on animal planet or Discovery. He did wild life documenterys and showed off different animals and wild life and habitats, but mostly he was a huge advocate for crocodiles and alligators and primarily did research and conservation work to help protect them and learn about them and educate the public. He developed new ways to handle crocks and relocate them and transport them. His family started off with a little zoo, he took over that and grew it to a huge attraction and education center that is is now. His death was devastating but his wife and kids have continued his work and outreach. They brought back the tv show and rebranded it and now it centers around the zoo. You can catch it on animal planet i believe. In short he was a legend of man and inspiration and a heck of a icon. Best known for his infectious, go geter, passionate personality.
Yes please give us more on stingrays how to treat if sick how to quarantine diets breeding ect. I work in a fish store and we have tons of people with Ray's but there's not alot about them out there.
I don't know how bony fish feel if they get barbed by stingrays, but I do know that hammerheads don't seem to care much. Many hammerheads have been found with barbs stuck around and in their mouths, but otherwise appear to be quite healthy and act normal. Perhaps they feel an initial shock from the stab, but it doesn't stop them from trying to eat the ray anyway. Then again, hammerheads are designed to hunt stingrays anyway. Their wide heads help detect fish hidden in the sand (like rays), and are useful for holding down pectoral disks of rays to prevent escape, so I wouldn't be surprised if these sharks have developed an immunity to the venom as well.
Hi Joey I love your videos Thank you for them How about experiment with the viewers how to take care of fish, while holding, and as the Fry grow up, Thank you again God bless you and your family.
Joeyyyy do a shrimp tank, I think there are a lot of people who don’t understand the differences between neocaridina and caridina. It’d be an awesome thing to watch and learn from. Also I support anyone supporting a mudskipper or hill stream tank. 👍👍 keep up the awesome vids man, they’ve been my most helpful tool in this hobby.
Anyone else here that can't help but giggle at Joey's accent solely based off the fact they've watched way too many episodes of trailerpark boys? Especially when he keeps saying barb lol
These types of videos are gold. We know you're an encyclopedia of fish information and while your projects are cool and keep us entertained, these videos actually teach us something, and the way you present things keeps us engaged. Please keep these informational videos coming and thank you for the content!
Had river rays as a kid and never had a problem with them, mine started small just little pups and eventually grew quite large. Believe my pair lived for around 6 or 7years which was quite long considering they came from walmart back in the day but i couldnt leave there knowing that someone might impulse buy them knowing nothing about their care or worse no one buy them and they were doomed to die witu everytjing else at walmart. My favorite aquarium pet ever
Can't help but think of Steve Irwin RIP when discussing being stabbed by a stingray. They are lovely creatures though, it was amazing being able to pet one at the Georgia Aquarium.
Great insight into keeping fresh water stingrays, always great advice from the king of DIY 👍🏼I'm never going to keep Rays but it doesn't stop me wanting to learn more about fishkeeping 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And to think, hammerhead sharks love to eat rays and give absolutely zero shits about the barbs, one hammerhead had around 96 barbs in its mouth and throat!
Loving this video. Love stingrays but would never have enough room for a tank bug enough. Seen them at Sea Life in Brighton UK. They were in a shallow "tank". They would come over and greet anyone who took an interest in them and appeared to love being "stroked" coming back for more. Wonderful animals xx
Could you do a comprehensive video on the filtratition of your different tanks. Would be awesome to know how your pumps work and different pipes you use!
yeah i would really enjoy seeing a how to on how to keep rays. include things like minimum different species of fw rays, minimum tank size, diet, tank mates. Nobody is more qualified than you to do this joey. make it happen please :)
Because they are made mostly of cartilage, as sharks and their relatives, they rarely fossilize, which is why we have no idea how what their ancestors looked like. There's no doubts that there may be ten of thousands of species that may no nothing of because they do not fossilize. But since we do have Sharks and Rays around today, we can marvel over them and maybe learn things from their anatomy and can benefit Humanity medicinally. Thanks again for sharing your Stingrays with us, Joey.
They are so cute omg the pups!! I remember going to sea world in Florida. It was very shallow but maybe 75 ft diameter circular tank. They give you minnos and you can feed and pet them.
The venom must have some effect on the fish because otherwise there would be no purpose to stingrays evolving with venom in the barb. Even if the fish do not appear to be in pain like humans, it must have some sort of effect.
I really enjoy these videos focused on information. Awesome video Joey
Hope you dont take this negatively, I realize it could sound back handed. Imo this is the best video you have made in a while. Extremely interesting, informative, and u made it fun. I cant wait to watch it later with my son he will dig all the ray facts.
You inform, entertain, and interact with your watchers. The best channel on youtube HANDS DOWN.👍👍

Totally need to make that stingray profile, its really gonna help me in ten years when I get my stingrays!
Very interesting info about flappy pancakes. Thanks Joey ⚡️
Joey, you would make an excellent marine biologist. So informative.
This video was very interesting.
Thank you!

Never forget Steve Irwin. He's wrestling crocs in heaven now
crocs that he took from his farm and planted in the wild to make it seem like he was wrestling wild animals.
He is a perfect example of what not too do... He was great but he was also extremely risky...
And stingrays too
The reason you run your hand under hot water (and this works with many other venoms as well) is actually to denature (break down) the proteins in the venom.

Can you give us an update on Bruce and the saltwater tank? Thanks
Flappy water pancake?? You mean the underwater roomba? 😂
"You really don't need to be in the aquarium"
*Swims in it*
I had an ex mother in law named Barb. Equally venomous.
Ogm lol
🤣🤣 best comment on this thread. 🤣🤣
Brilliant 👏 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

His status is legend and will never be forgotten!!!

I believe the reason you run a sting site under hot water has to do with breaking down proteins in the venom...
Thank you Joey, really enjoyed this topic and how you presented it! 👍😀
Can you do a care video on freshwater rays please?
Very informative video on stingrays! Nice job Joey!
Steve Irwin died the same way he lived...with animals in his heart.
Too soon bruh. Too soon.

Hey Joey, I wonder if you could use that Barb like a Quill. Attach a handle. Maybe a bulb that releases ink... Stingray Pen:)
I’d love to see a species spotlight on Stingrays they are my absolute favorite fish in the entire hobby.
Steven Moisan Rachel O’Leary did a species spot light on rays!
I would enjoy more videos on stingrays. This was informative and enjoyed this video.
Im super happy you made this video. I definitely learned a lot. I absolutely adore these little pancake puppies
I love that Joey is educating himself more on finer aspects of individual fish species, bringing more knowledgeable value to his vids. Don't be too rigid though Joey, we love your humorous human side too!!😁

Joey, your amazing man. You are like the book of knowledge when it comes to aquariums.
You're amazing. I absolutely love all that you do. I'm not a builder, at all, but you've convinced me to make my own aquarium.
I like the way you say "Berb"
Love all the wealth of knowledge you share. Please, do it more often. Good video.
Thanks!

Deeper educational aspect of this video was awesome!
I love this kind of informational videos man. You should do more like these!
When you bring up how Steven Erwin died but don’t bring up Steve Erwin
There’s no need lol

The arowana are getting big! The landscaping looks good too!
More videos on flappy water pancakes

Rest in piece Steve Irwin
DisBeNIko he died because he pulled out the barb
@@timetofight6617 Well aware
In many ways that is my fav tank of yours Joey.
Beautiful fish in a beautiful environment.
Flappy water pancakes! I spit out my water when I heard that! 🤣🤣🤣
Thaw will not happen soon because he want’s to grow the arowanas
Nice vid and informative. Love your answers, there are just some weird questions out there but they are good to address.

Hey Joey, it looks like the water level in your tanks are low. Haha. Just kidding. Nice video! See you in Dallas. : -)
Would love a more in depth look at everything required for keeping Ray's and breeds/morphs practical for more advanced hobbyists.

And now they will forever be known as.....water pancakes. Thanks Joey!
RIP STEVE IRWEN 🤧👍

Could at least spell his name correctly, Irwin*
I personally would love a video on "flappy pancakes"! 😂😂😂
I about died laughing at that one!
RIP Steve Erwin ☝️
Shame Peta
Lots of great information on these guys!
That baby stingray looked like a ravioli.
I love how he says Bahrb 😆😎

Glad you do!
I just screamed from the cuteness of the premi baby stingray u shared in this video
Lol, once you said "burb" i knew right away you were Canadian haha
