First of all this ray would not survive in the wild due to its capacity to defend it self. Second of all its skinny as hell. I agree with all the other folks here in that he should stay away from this ray and buy a ray from some guy who is actually breeding healthy pups. A ray should be fat and round at the base of its tail and lower back. Take a look at one of my rays. She is 8 months old and healty as it should beLooks good to me
