Finally got my first fw stingray; bought him down off Michael at Aquarists World in SW Seattle; Acclimated via drip method for about 45 minutes and then in he went! After about an hour he started to explore and now he's seriously exploring and coming to the front of the tank for food when I approach! Sorry about the algae, but isn't he a beautiful specimen! He's in my 260g at the moment; Wife is upset; tank used to be a "community tank" with rainbows, juparis, neons, roseline sharks .... we'll see how long they last ..... its too cool how he already recognizes me and comes to the front and gives me the eyeball;

usually it doesnt take long time and then you will make new thread "my second ray" then "my third ray" hehehe

beautiful ray!

Yep, one step at a time though; I'd love a pair of Leos but at the moment they're a tad pricey;

Thanks, his spots aren't consistent like some I've seen on mfk but I still love him! Its odd how the three spots join together in the back;

Great looking marble! Once he starts growing and darkening up, he's going to be a real looker!

The way marbles morph, don't worry too much cos all end up looking drastically different.
