To Matt's point, Doug Sweet and some of the old curators at Bell Isle kept rays for 20+ years. The Shedd used to have a leo pair that was more than 20 years old.

Wow, great stories, keep them coming....
 
its depressing to see that most people voted less than one year..i hope to keep mine alive until they need a new tank at least.. then i will probably donate it to some one.. make that anyone who would wanna take a trip to Vancouver for 2 free motoros!
id rather give them away for free then wait for offers and have them die. i don't need the money; they need a good home.:cry:
 
pics of any old rays. i've never seen an old ray before or just didn't know that it was old.
 
Nice to see some old school ray keepers here too...
 
my 14-15" leo is soposidly 8-9 years old.... pet store in milwaulkee had her stuck in a 180 gallon for all of it :cry::cry::nilly:
 
Turkey - Was she stunted?
 
yea, she has grown at least an inch-inch and a half since i got her back in late october, im still waiting on movement on her... she is always really thick and when she eats she gets the two HUGE humps on her like she is preggers but havent seen any movement on her.... im hoping being stunted didnt mess up her reproductive system
 
It would seem that the poll may not be worded perfectly.

I have been keeping 3 Retics for 2.5 years now, but none have died...In fact they are doing very well. So I will not vote. I trust others that have had the same success do the same.

Water Changes are my life (it seems)
