48x48 Workhorse "The Rig"

N nzafi don’t get me wrong, would love to see your sweet setup with rays but usually those good tankmate guys go quiet after a while for a reason. You see the same with FRT and other turtles often too.

I might save the photo of her climbing the wall for the folks who ask if a 6x2 will work long term.

N nzafi dobt get me wrong ide love to see your sweet setup chalked full of flat fish but usually those good tankmate guys go quiet after a while for a reason. I see the same with FRT and other turtles often too.

I agree with you. I’m actually very conservative when it comes to buying fish. My biggest issue is going to be not having a hospital tank. I have to sell my 180g. I will be a live or die scenario almost and not sure I can do that. In my 19 years of keeping fish it’s almost always been solo fish exclusively anyway.

Please do but call out it’s my QT tank. She won’t spend her days in a 48x48”

These boys are also trying to turn your height into width. I'm pretty sure you were the one with that 30" Moto right? This pic reminds me of that. You guys won't get a better intro to raising Ray's proper than here. I imagine this is a great introspective for any top stateside breeding facility, they won't share this information easily, much less with a step by step set up.

True that. I always breed in 30”+ tall tanks. This is the first I’ve tried in 24” and don’t think I will again. This isn’t a breeding tank it’s a QT/growout but the tank she’s going in has two pregnant females already. can’t add a male. Figured I would give it a shot.

Must be someone else, never measured my last motoro beyond 24”. She was a beast but probably closer to 26”, no where close to 30”.

Guess you were right Dloks it’s a first and last for this setup though. I had to try, right?

Took this male 127 minutes to get it done. Sorry for the cloudy water. It was clear a few mins ago









They should make some stunning P12 x P14. the last is a pic is a pup from the same male (also a P12 cross) but different female. Dieselhybrid new blood for the hybrids bro. This female is dark.

LOL yes you should! Another decal pack?

Looks like he got it done. Moved the male back to his tank and will leave her put until next Saturday.



Then on to scape and move the youngins..
