Can i have a ray?

if thats the case why wouldnt a small ray fit a 75gal for 1 yr? sure you must figure in the tail length which i dont know how long it is

Read stickys plz

Do some research.

I wouldn't, wait until you can house properly, you will end up much happier this way!

according to MFK's stingray sticky I cant house it right. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2402 Retic can live in a 75gal. Sure larger tank the better.

Why bother asking if you're just going to argue about it until you hear the answer you want to hear? 75 is too small and will always be too small. Hell, I don't even see a point if you're only planning to keep the thing for a year, might as well not keep it at all...

im not arguing. Im simply pointing out points of consideration. A member suggested the stickys and i looked. they say a 75gal is sufficient... dont understand why everyone says it not... the stickys are usually important.

Sigh.. 75 gal is a BARE MINIMUM FOR THE SMALLEST OF SPECIES!!! It is not even really large enough for the smaller species! YOU CANNOT HOUSE A RAY!

obviously he wont listen to us, so lets just sit back and wait until he gets a ray, and kills it, bc he wont listen...
