captive hystrix or wild?

[Rghfor]

It seems like u don't have experience with hystrix bc no ray should be kept in anything less then 6x2 footprint minimum...6x30 preferred

ashley has kept hystrix as i have seen his female that he sold. he currently keeps mini marble and raised one to adult hood

Hystrix males can get larger then 9-10

Adulthood isn't life...you have to remember these rays can live over a decade easy

If your getting a 6x3 then I would get a pair of hystrix if I were you

intent is to have pups

cannot afford 300 for a pair of hystrix though. first world problems

I'd wait a little longer and save up to the 300 for the hystrix.
Hystrix go up in demand and value as they grow IMO compared to motoro which basically go down in demand and I'd say value also as they grow. Hystrix piss all over standard motoro any day of the week.

Main issue is waiting list for captive bred

Worth the wait mate, well worth it. Even in the 6x3' motoro will out grow it.
Get your name down on Richard's list and wait it out, you won't be disappointed.
No point rushing out to buy motoro just so you have the satisfaction of owning rays sooner, hystrix Are worth waiting for.
