Nope

it may actually prove to be a smart move on the part of the Brazilian Government. If they adopt a "captive" or regulated collecting program. They can regulate and control the pricing of their indigenous species. In the furture we may see rays worth as much as Asian Arows. As for the food industry that sounds like a bad excuse......

OddBaller...So it's smart to stock up on some rays, before the prices shoot up???For starts, I've been thinking of breeding some common rays...Pretty much whatever we can get our hands on....I'm still all for piranha, but after reading some of this thread, I may dabble on some ray project...
