Just curious to know if Tiger Rays are that much harder to keep than say a Motoro? I haven't seen anyone captive breeding them over here. Was curious if it's just hard to find a pair or if they are hard to keep? What is the reason they are not being captive bred?
Captive bred Tigers?

I think harder to bred.. Honestly imo at least once in a tank for a period they're not hard to keep at all..
keep water perfect and get the ray eating preparred foods and its real hardy ray.... they dont take to stress to well when small and new....
tyson has bred tigers and so has frank.... david webber had a female give birth to still borns.... and i think thats the rays frank has...
So........ What would you guys say is "enough" room? 450 gallons? LOL Ok seriously......is 1.5K enough room? And lastly would they have to be in a species enviroment? I'm probobly asking a bunch of unanswerable questions but hey, how do you know if you don't ask?
they get huge over 30" disk... so if i had to put a guestimate on ideal set up for life would be 10'x6' they will out grow 8x4.... think real big with these guys... i had my old one with motoro but the motoro was 3" smaller to give the tiger a chance... i didnt want the ray stressed or out competed for food....
Agree thinking bigger than 8x4.. you're talking 2 or 3 very large disk rays with very very long tails..
Where did 8 by 4 come from? I wouldn't consider that big enough for Motoros for life..let alone a Tiger. 8 by 8 is what I have now for the Motos.... If I was even gonna try Tigers I'de go BIG. SO....safe bet that if an attempt is gonna be made it should be a species only attempt?

Normally something in the 450g range is 8x4ish in size.. The answer to the last question I don't know.. Might try looking at Franks site, or getting input from Zoodiver on how Shedd's are set up. PM tyson? But there's probably a reason mike has seperate breeding tanks for all of his rays.
