Check out Shark Aquarium up in North Jersey, I think he gets them in quite often.

If you are going to buy a retic (really tough ray to keep) my advice would be to haunt the NNJ shops like shark aquarium Aquascape beitals etc- when you find one- wait a week come back and see if it's still there (probably dead) if it is still there make them feed it ... If it eats and it is something you are willing to feed it . It is now time to buy

Good luck

Thanks. I'm in there pretty often and haven't seen any. I'll keep an eye out. They always have rays, just haven't noticed any retic.

Thanks.

What makes reticulated rays "a really tough ray to keep" ? I know they can be tricky to feed at first and have a reputation for showing up in shops very unhealthy. That being said, if you have one that eats and is in good health, are they really that much tougher then other rays?

The biggest issue is because they are so inexpensive there is less care taken with them when they are collected and shipped... and there mouths are small so getting them to eat is an issue... that is why i said if you see one eating then it is ok to buy, but a lot of time from the rough treatment being shipped they are so stressed when they get here they never eat or recover. Good luck

So are there any breeders around? I'm not real big on searching pet store to pet store looking for a healthy one. Thanks
