damn, wish you were closer, i'd offer you my leptobarbus hoevenii
 
Thanks for the info i will try to avoid them

Not finding very much but im tired of growing fish out lol i just want some monsters to add to the big tanks

Completely understand. I'm friggin tired of it too. I've had blue Tor for several months now. I bet they're 6 times the size they were when they showed up. Every couple months I throw them in my pup tank. Remove a headless one the next morning from the overflow and move them all back to thier growout. Started with 7. Down to 3. Had 7 Raphs. None now. Both 10" Tinfoils got lunched. Rays in the juvie tank even ate a 5" shovelnose. 5" Brycon went missing days ago. So sick of fishless ray tanks it's not even funny.

On a lighter note I do have a dozen Bala sharks in my pup tank. Some as small as 2". Guess what? Been in there for well over a month, NOT 1 SINGLE one has been attacked or come up missing. They're scared to death of the rays.

Sad and comical at the same time.
 
Yep!! Feel your pain,just lost a 6" thin bar SD that I put in the ray tank last week.I thought being a topwater fish,and one that moves pretty damn quick!! NOPE! JUST GOT PEGGED LAST NIGHT:{{{

It seems to be a catch 22,gotta have a fish big enough that the ray can't pin,and small enough not to cause problems for the ray?????

This is the Dilemma of a MFK!!
 
Tell me about it lol, I have gone through about 6 orinos, 3 wild monos just trying to get a p-bass in with my ray also lost several clown loaches but wasn't that surprised about those

whered you find p-bass at in mich ive been searching for a while now and no luck
 
for the most part you gotta buy the peacock bass when they are young, large ones are only at stores when people trade them in, for the most part, you might find larger ones if trade ins happen, but usally they are pricy here too,
 
yup i was hoping someone had one or two for sale, u never know...
