I have been good, just been concentrating on school and what not. Got the urge to get back into the hobby with a bigger tank this time. Let me know about any deals on a tank between 90-120 gallons.

Miles, the ray was an undiscovered species at the time... i thought it was P. Yepezi, from viewing Aqualog book?? :confused: Sent pics to Andreas in Germany,,, told me it was undiscovered, referred to it as Potamotrygon Sp. Neu 1. :)

SWEET SH jelly how old is he?

Thanks. He is about ten years now. not sure how long they live for. probably another ten.

Has just eaten a Convict I thought was too large to swallow. Had him in a floating container until I thought he was big enough. left him alone for a week aswell.
