I personally have never seen one of the reds for sale or anyone who is keeping them so I would be interested to see some pics if someone does indeed have any reds?

ECZS has brought them in in the past.
The one I saw in person was an adult female that gave birth to 1 pup in the LFS tank. Not spectacular but ok color and pattern.
Only one they ever brought in to the best of my knowledge. They stock Retics and have had 1 Castexi.

I think people buy them as a stater Ray then buy them not feeding they die and then people think rays are hard to keep
I don't think you see many breeders because it's not worth the effort as pups sell for so cheap less than $40 in the UK
It also costs the same to feed and breed other better looking rays retic are also not that active from what I remember

They are cheaper for sure which is why I think more people would by them. There aren't many people that'd spend $100+ on a fish... Since they sell for so cheap I'd expect pet shops to be able to move more of them.

I normally lurk here 
but I came across this tonight while reading threads that I missed. I had a great pair of retic rays. Had pups several times, and they all did great. They are no longer with me, as I have a love of the 'fatter' rays (wanted to focus on the hystrix and leos), but they were a lot of fun to keep! Here are some of the pups that they had about a year and a half ago. 8 pups total (one was on the other side of the tank for this pic), although one was just partially developed. The remaining 7 did great. Their last litter they had while I still had them was only 4 pups, but they did just as well as this group (and were bigger when born).

What size tank did you breed them in?I normally lurk here

Thanks, guys! I could kick myself, but I don't have any pics of the parents! I do have a couple videos buried somewhere on my computer from when the female is pregnant, but that's all the way over in another room I'll have to see if I can dig it up to post
They were in a 125 temporarily, and actually bred in that before I transferred them to a 300. Kept the male in the 300 after the breeding. Male was about 9" in diameter, and the female was about 14".

Wow! 14" is a huge retic! I had marbles that topped out around that size...
