I recently called upon all ray owners to enter pictures into the POTM contest since we have yet to see a ray picture win!

Given the great pictures this month, will this be the month of the ray?

Zoodiver
12-07-2007, 3:40 PM
They are a pain. Keeping water between upper 30's to mid 40's takes large chiller. Lighting can only be minimal. To ad to that, the worst part is getting them to eat. They are scavengers who won't just go up and grab food. You can imagine what happens to your water quality when you start leaving food in there to decompose for them.
