NEW TO RAYS HERES MY QUESTION.

Do you want the cheapest ray possible? Or one that might still be alive a week after you get it?

Kinda agree.

The cheapest ray is a P. Retic. But, really hard to care for with out research.

Haven't you heard, you get what you pay for?

Cheap does not mean its sick ay? 95% of all retics that come in are either infested with internal parasites, lice, or fungus. This means most come more than half dead. Ever bother to actually listen to people when they educate you? Theres a reason why we say the cheapest is not the way to go for someone who just got into rays. But I guess for a pro like you who is on a level way beyond us amateurs, it should be a walk in the park.

and there are very few fish keepers that are willing to invest the time and money that it takes to nurse a retic back to health.....



as of late, there seems to be a lot of new raykeepers, i hope it is people who truely love rays, and not just people who got a littel extra tax refund

your best bet is to find someone that is a breeder local .. and then prove to them you can take care of it .. and know what your doing .. other then that your just going to get something that is going to die .. or your going to kill it ..

some local breeders around here sell motoros for ~$50 if you catch them at the right time
