Im just playing Pantastic... black rays are my favorite rays and they are worth it!

Update on the Ray ... still eating on blackworms and im spending more
on blackworms than what i spend on my lunch. I hope my wife does not
sign up here and reads this. :redface:

[guppy]

That a motoro? Never kept one but they are cheap inthe fish markets around the rio negro. Starange lookiing meat, like parallel sausages, very mild in taste.

[piranha45]

very nice ray man

[Brent]

glad to hear the rays doing ggod :woot: I go throw alot of money to on fish food too.

[WckedMidas]

not dissing that ray. But will its stinger heal its self i notice it looks like it splinterd. I see lots of them in lfs with tails like that. Will they heal . do they grow back or do they stay that way once the damage happens to them?
By the way anyone no whatr type of rays the lfs carry called generic fresh watter tea cup rays?

[piranha45]

from what i hear others say, teacups are usually reticulata. rays shed their stingers periodically; the old one will fall off and you can pick it up out of the tank, while a new one moves in to replace it.

[ezman]

hey bro, thats a beauty!!!

is that a henlei??

[rayman45]

yes

very nice wes

and update pics
maybe a group shot?

[redtailfool]

This bad boy is still in quarantine by himself.
unfortunately, i kind of messed up with the water quality
and he lost weight.

he is back on track and eating blackworms now.
I will take pics when he is nice and pretty. Cross your fingers for me guys.

yeah he is a Henlii.

[rayman45]

what tank do u put him in?

[Robert]

very nice ray u got there

[guppy]

RTF ( Wes) had a bad test kit ( for ammonia) and the water quality issues he had were totally not his fault, imo he is a very consciencous aquarist. We brainstormed for quite a while to figure it out.
This is something for everyone to be aware of...TEST KITS GO OFF SOMETMES, so when things don;t make sense, fish aren't quite right but things test normal, that may be a reason.
hth
Did not Know that, Another thing to be paranoid about. I'll watch the batch #s or buy 2 brands at a time from now on.

[vinodlaxmikanth]

the ray you've got is awesome.
I'm planning to get one too....
any suggestions on the type?
do they make good tankmates with a silver arowana and a fly river turtle???

i dont think rays and fly river turtles can go togerther.

[michael]

i dont think rays and fly river turtles can go togerther.
But am probably going to seperate them soon.

[kody1192]

But am probably going to seperate them soon.
really i figured the turtle would scratch the ray.

[AROFREEK2K5]

don't doit unless you don't care about the beauty of your rays:eek:

[redtailfool]

its not a good mix. I did and thats why i dont have a frt now. :(

[michael]

:screwy: :screwy: :screwy: I have just been lucky and my FRT is very shy. The rays are moving on to give him and the dats there own tank!

[Thomascl]

Very nice, one day if in very lucky i will get my hands on one or two of these.

[metant]

Wow, this is my dream ray.
