Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to get a new tank for my office. I've been reading about rays for a while now and they're kinda my dream fish so I want to make it right, but I have a few questions.
Rays: I want to get 2-3 Marbled Motoro and/or Pearl. Once I tried to buy one here, and the guys told me the marble wouldn't get bigger than 10 inches, but in the ray profile thread it says motoros get 30 inches+ and it has no info about pearls. I'm wondering if mabled motoros are truly smaller than normal motoros? and how big do pearl get? Also, what's a marbled motoro, I can't seen to find a lot of info, then books that I've read just talk about the motoro not the marbled varient.
Tankmates: I want to do Chicla, and maybe a Silver Aro or some other fish.
Tank, I want to keep it at 72 inches long due to space, so I want to start with 125G (72x18x21) and then move into 220 (72x24x24/30) since the length is the same. I was always under the impression that Rays would like/look better and in a deep tank, so should I try to do build/buy a 72x(36or48)x24 instead of a 220(72x24x30)?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Vincent
