LOL, buddy, YOU'RE the one who stated 15 minutes, Im just following the instructions given. Don't go blaming me for leaving the ray in there for 15 minutes when YOU specifically said 15 minutes. Let me repeat, YOU are the one who says 15 minutes and now YOU are the one who says 15 minutes is too much. Which one is it? May I remind you that you are also the one who stated 1/2 pounds of salt in 5 gallons of water. Please don't start arguing that I put too much salt. And just to remind you, a ray is a ray LOL, your black ray does not have a superior power that gives it a higher chance of survival. It seems you have the idea that the price tag of a fish determines how big of a chance it has to survive. Had I decided to actually buy blackworms, the retic would've probably started eating, I'm pretty confident about saying a healthy retic is going to have a much bigger chance at survival than your half dead black ray. Please, lets not be childish and argue about the relationship between price and survival percentages. It's just completely illogical. In case you did not see the above, I'll say it again, YOU said 15 minutes, YOU said 1/2 pounds of salt per 5 gallons, Im merely just following instructions.
