no experience with them would leave that to be a real pathetic comment... ive been around plenty of peoples salt rays who are just as active and playful as fresh rays...

I have worked around them in the past and there is just nothing that grabs me about them. As a matter of fact I have worked with many saltwater fish in a reputable LFS and they just don't do a single thing for me.

Their freshwater counterparts BLOW them out of the water.

The one type of fish out of them all that ever grew on me was Triggerfish.
They have attitude. I like that.

blue spotted rays rarely do well in captivity. They sure look cool though

saltwater tanks are not all that hard to take care of at least a fish only tank, but a reef tanks is a different thing. The cost of salt keeps going up and up, last year I could get a 5 gallon bucket of instant ocean salt mix for 160 gallons for 30 dollars and this year its over 40.00 so 25% in one year whic really tics me off because the way our economy is going. People are making less money and buisnesses are charging more, go figure.
