Got my first rays today!!

[evojoey]

These guys are my first rays. Have them in my Geophagus tank. Looks to be a male and a female, the male being smaller. So far so good. They love the sand. While feeding my geo's I noticed that the female was eating some of the NLS pellets. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. Check em' out.

Thanks, the one in the last pic is the male. The female in in the first and third pics. The male has really small claspers.

Thanks, Dom. All the info I read says they are hard to get eating. John (thefishjunky) was cool enough to hold them for a few weeks to make sure they were eating before he let me pick them up. Nice and fat for 4" rays.

Didn't think anyone would post that fast. Thought I could throw in one more pic. Guess you beat me.

Nice looking retics. Almost always the first ray for most of us I think. You'll be hooked now. Mark my words!

Thanks. I already am.

I tried to give them blackworms today. They ate like pigs. I couldn't be happier with them.
