Caution with the Rabbit Ray.....

[Sukuyan]

Ok so not only do the Rabbit Ray look like a rabbit but they also seem to multiply like them too. I found one of their eggs and put it into my aquarium to find out what it was. I only had 1 in there and it hatched. Well that sucker decided to grow up and make more eggs. Now my 4 story high aquarium is full of rabbit rays.....I've been spending the last 20 min gathering them all up, along with their massive number of unhatched eggs, and releasing them in the creep vine forest because it's far enough from my base that I won't have to worry about seeing 30+ rabbit rays when I look out my window. Just a word of caution to anyone looking to add a rabbit ray to their aquarium, make sure if you don't want more than one that you gather up or break the eggs they lay, before they hatch.

Yes, all fish do this.

Life forms procreate?
That's quite a fascinating discovery!

How do you have a four story aquarium?

By building 4 multi-purpose rooms and large aquariums vertically.

And they all connect?

This should not be the case. Creatures that hatch from eggs, to my knowledge, should not be procreating in the aquarium and create more eggs. (i.e. If you put two stalker eggs in an aquarium, let them hatch into stalkers, and come back a week (in game) later, you should still have 2 stalkers).

Regular fish DO procreate, but this is because you catch them and release them in the aquarium.

Are you in experimental? Obviously this could cause bugs or could be a new feature recently added.

False. Egg-laying creatures in an aquarium will lay more eggs, and I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't.

This is the case in Stable, by the way.

Hmmm Ok so I guess my amusement in this did not transfer well into typed words.....lol, Yes I know that they should procreate. I was commenting on the fact that within 10 min RL time I went from having 1 rabbit ray to having something like 30 of them in my aquarium not exagerating here either. I typed both my original post and this one with a smile on my face and a chuckle in my heart. It was supposed to be funny and joking on the fact that they are called rabbit ray's. Joking aside, I can understand why having more than 1 in the aquarium would produce more. I am wondering if the rabbit rays are sequential hermaphrodites, if this is the case then it makes sense that having only 1 of them could result in later having more.....

Yeah, they will all connect to one another

That's wicked. I'll have to do that. Thanks for the input. Good luck with your bunnies!

I built an aquarium from the seafloor to the surface once. Then I put two of the same kind of fish in. I'm still trying to get them out . . .

I had this problem too with the 4 story aquarium, I was putting 2 of each type of fish in it...I now have 2 or 3 of the lockers full of fish that I am trying to get through for food. I think I made 4 or 5 trips at least between the lockers and the aquarium to clear them all out. Now I have a tank just for looks and one for food breeding. My visual tank has 1 of each type of fish I've caught in it so they don't breed, I removed all the rabbit rays and their eggs so I don't have that issue again lol. I did put one of the shocker eggs and that evil shark from the koosh fields in there but I'm thinking about taking them out and releasing them back in their home habitat only because I went in there and found a dead peeper fish decomposing at the top of the tank. The peeper was fine till I put the carnivore eggs in there to hatch...but not sure it was what killed him. My other 2 story tank now has Eyeye, Reginald and Peepers in it to breed for food purposes. I think I've finally got everything the way I want it with the tanks but I wish I could plant more flora in each of them. My creeper vines take up a lot of space each.

You can also plant the fruit tree and purple plant and bulbo tree in an inside planter for food. You get them from the island headed west.
