converted rays

[Atreyu]

how are rays converted from SW to FW?? Is this possible for just SW rays or any SW fish??

There is both Saltwater and Freshwater rays..

Each species has it's own requirements.

No one converts them..

People have tried but they usally die in like a week. Just think the evolution of s/w ray into f/w rays took millions of years. the only succesfull convert was a guy who changed a bamboo shark into a freshwater gold fish tank he had it goin for about 3 mounth but have heard of late.

I don't think it should be tried to risky.

I'd never try anything like that
I just read about it in one of the sticky's

Alot of discussion about the St. John's River ray.. Apparantly there is a Saltwater Ray that often enters brackish and freshwaters in Florida. Their is supposively a land-locked species of the a St. John's ray that is completely freshwater.. I don't know if you can find any concrete evidence on it.

Is this what the sticky was talking about?

I believe your referring to the "Atlantic Ray".

Yep..


Some people have acclimated them to FW, but they won't live long.. Some claim to have a pure freshwater variant that evolved in a land-locked eco-system.. I don't know.
