Hi everyone!
My name is Hope and I'm from the dry, eastern part of Washington State. I have two tanks. The first is a 29 gallon freshwater tank with a bunch small, non-aggressive fish: neon tetras, glass cats, balloon-bellied mollys, a rainbow fish, another type of tetra, an otocinclus, a clown pleco, a hillstream loach, a tiny puffer fish, and an unidentified, long skinny algae eater. My second tank is home to my motoro stingray. I currently have him in a 75 gallon tank but just bought a 150 gallon tank to move him into.
The ray was originally purchased by a friend of mine who was given some horribly inaccurate information by a local pet store. They told her that she could start out with a 20 gallon tank, that they are not aggressive, and that they didnt need any special care. We quickly figured out this wasnt the case.
I am a little worried that the 150 wont be big enough for him in the long run but Im doing the best I can to set it up right. I will be using a 55 gallon tank as a sump with a refugium. If I need to buy a bigger tank, I will, but for now the 150 will be a big step up from the 75 he was in before.
