It's been a long time since I posted so a little update

I got this male pearl ray a few months back he has grown real well in my pup tank and will be joining the big boys soon



Also practical fish keeping came to do a visit last Friday and it will be in the mag in 2-4 months

wow amazing setup!
That Aro and turtle look great !

 

[T1KARMANN]

The turtle is long gone

It was a good idea but fish and turtles don't mix

It only went well for about 5-6 months them he started nipping at the rays so he had to go which was a shame as Fly River turtles are getting very rare now

The only reason I tried the turtle was I was thinking they had so much space they could keep out of each other's way but that wasn't the case

Unfortunately, animals just don't do that.

Still looks great!

I sort of started off at the higher end of rays back in the 90s before everyone had internet so hard to get much info on them
I started off with leopoldi which was £125 which was a lot of money back them
Looking back the leopoldi grow to big for the 6x2x2 I kept it in

A very small ray is scobina but they are very hard to find

Marble motoro stay fairly small but make sure it's a real marble as normal motoro can grow to 36" disk

Rays are not hard to take care of as long as you buy a healthy ray that's feeding well

Captive bred rays do 100 x better than wild caught

Glad to hear that all is good with the giantquarium Any newly added fish? Any old fish that's no longer there?
I showed almost the entire thread to my 6 yo daughter today. She was amazed, I still need to convince her that we can NOT replicate this project in our balcony
