Ok so I was at a LFS today and they had a ray. The tank said not for sale. but I asked when I left the store what the deal was. And it sounded like a guy had bought the fish from someone else and stuck it with some other aggro fish (cichlids I bet) and two days later brought it to them for resale b/c he didn't want it to get ate.
so I ask if it's in QT or what. and The guy tells me no it's just not for sale. So I Say what's the mean? is it going to be a store show fish? the guy looks at me and says no it's going to more then likely going to stay here then "ashley" is going to take it.
Well that got me mad that's a manager and she's a *****. He said they could get more if I wanted one. so I asked what sp. it was and he didn't know. and I wasn't sure b/c the body shape was more salt then fresh. So I told the guy I would look on my own to find out what it was then get back with them.
Well I get home and find out it's most likely a freshwater florida ray. One that is likely to die b/c it needs salt.
So when I go there (if I go back) I'm going ot ask what happened and when they tell me it died I'm going to let them know why.
I thought it could be something cool b/c the body shape wasn't something I have seen alot of in rays though. But I Still have yet to dabble in the freshwater rays. so I don't know that much.
P.S. I tired to get a pic but it was one of those open top "pondariums" and it was doing nothing but swimming in circles.
