Well as some of you know i had to take a couple year break from rays and get my struggling business sold, and my finances back on track.. It killed me to sell off all my rays and most all my fish.. I kept my 300 and jumped into Geo's for a couple years but nothing touched my love of the hobby like my rays did. So i'm happy to say i'm finally back..

Well here's my current stock list..

1x 14" Captive bred Leo
2x 12"&11" WC Henlei
1x 16" Papyrocranus Afer Knife
2x 8" Satanoperca Jurupari
1x 9" Snowball pleco
1x 12" P. Ornate
1x 12" P. Palmas

Sorry these pics were right after i got all 3 rays, my kids stole my memory card so i can't get any of the new pics right now..:irked:

Vary nice crew you got! I love the leo ray, Im working at getting another ray next month once my retics alittle biger. Thats a really cool knife, I havent seen one like that befor! I just got a albino clown knife afew days ago :) but really nice man!
 
Man you really went from zero to wide open in a blink of an eye! Glad you are back in the game and maybe just maybe you can get those nice rays to breed. That always helps to justify the hobby to your wife when you can bring a little cash in instead of it always going out.
 
Yea i'm super glad to be back..
Trev, the Leo came from a friend of mine named Todd, he was the first Leo breeder and maybe the only Leo breeder washington ever had. This was his last pup he ever bred before he sold his breeders to Mike at H20 a few years back.. I'm not sure how old he his but must be in the 3 year old range.. Kinda funny until i got this guy he'd never been in a tank with another ray, but after i added the females he didn't seem to like to play nice with other rays.. :( But after a wee or so he was fine..

I do have one more ray that will be added soon, it's another chunk ray like my leo but this ones a 14" Motoro from a local zoo.. I should have him this week maybe.. :) I wasn't looking for a Motoro but when i zoo asks if you want a free ray who says no..lol
 
not to be a kill joy here but i thought that the sucker mouth catfish was a no no with sting rays as they can do serious damage or is not this the case with this species? i would love to put one with my rays to help keep alge down but because of what i have read about mixing them i wont.
