Boesemani Rays - who still has them????

[UnstoppableJayD]

Itsssss been a long time since I’ve been hanging around in here… life has been turbulent for years now.. so I’m kind of out of the loop so coming to where it all started… back in 2017 I got a pair of Boes from Wes .. when I moved 4 years ago I unfortunately lost my female to an overzealous male albino pearl while I had to commingle fish I didn’t want to while moving. My lonely male has made some BD hybrids since then. About a month ago I was able to find a sub adult female .. but in the years I haven’t been active where did the Boes go???? Anyone out there still have some??

Here is the dirty old man and his new jail bait …

Nice to see you back Jay … things are def diff these days. Im not sure if anyone is even bringing in wild caught anymore sadly. Pure bloods of anything are going to be rare now. Id ask Tim F. As hes still got prob the most rays in house. Wes might still be able to get them. Other than that, Kevins at predatory fins now and basically just bringing in stuff from over seas. Kevin/pf probably has the most to offer. Most people are just dealing with albinos/hybrids. Id like some wc hens… never would have thought pure bloods would about disappear in the last 10yrs.

That’s what I’m seeing!! Crazy… we used to be so careful with bloodlines.. I was looking for a BD male and no one could give me any info on purity.. it’s a shame .

And thanks for the welcome back! I think I’ll hang around a bit if some of the old timers like us are still active.

It’s insane how it’s getting harder and harder to get pure species with rays, they’re all designer crap these days.

It’s that way with everything nowadays…cichlids, live bearers, rays, catfish, etc. Not sure how the hybrid thing got so hot. Most of what comes about from these crosses dont look near as good as the broodstock

Hybrids, tall bodied, short bodied, colour morphs. Man I want the fish because of how the wild/natural colour looks. Like a grey Giant gourami is harder to find here than a pink one.
