Great save on that marble.. He has a killer pattern, hopefully now that he's eating he'll start to fatten up.. I have a ray with a stub tail too, Kinda makes him unique..

the other fish in his tank were spot on, all fat and looked well. he also had another motoro in there a smaller normal morph and that looked very well. i think it was a case of this guy only eating worms so everything else was getting plenty of other stuff and them darn Pbass were probably hammering this guys worms well before he was getting any.
as long as i pull him round and getting eating properly then ill be very happy. im hopeing he will mate with my marble when she is ready as both there markings are awsome and will knock out some wicked pups.
the tank looks mucky in the pics but it because i threw in loads of food as well as the worms and then all the other rays poo was getting stirred up as they crap like horses!
im glad it collects were it dose and not into the filters as ide be cleaning filters non stop.
everyday i have to vac the bottom and top up inbetween the water changes they get every 2 days.

Its not hard to make sure that the ray gets fed, just buy a grabber thing used in planted tanks and put the food infront of the ray, he was allways quick at reacting once he realised there were worms in the tank. Was it the 8fter built into the wall that it was in?

i think the lad was suprised how quickly and easly i removed him from the tank. just put the tub in, pushed him in and lifted him out i was there all of 5 mins.
his house was wicked though lol, to much money that man.
