Like this? That is a giant thailand ray, they have had reports of getting up to 14 feet across! Also the center of controversy, as being the largest FW fish in the world!
Experience on keeping antenna rays?

The ray in the pic above is a Himantura oxyrhynchus the marbled whipray.
They stay fairly small.

Has anyone had success with the antenna rays? I'm not interested in owning them yet, but I would like to at least know more about their husbandry and see some pics of this awesome ray. 
Its a real pain in the ass to get them eating. As miles said, they have a really small mouth and can hardly eat anything. Even tiger rays are easy compared to antennas. Another problem is their tail. Its usually like 4-5 times as long as its disc, but usually gets broken during shipping, this is the other factor why they're so hard to keep. Not sure about brackish water though. I kept mine for about a month before i got tired of the constant need of blackworms.
i know of alot of guy keeping these over seas.... most have given me good feed back on them... hmm they seem like a perfect ray for KISS imo...
Never kept one and have only seen a few for sale but most of the time i hear about them they are in an asian country

Not to sidetrack, but the LFS here swears that he got the ceja I brought in from Peru on nightcrawlers and pellets.
