High Spot Jaguar Ontorongo Female

well let me know about the final cost with shipping and then we'll talk more about that vendor thanks

You'll need some pretty good luck on your side to find a male that looks good enough that the pups aren't "tainted"......

Once you get her settled in I can give you the name of a vendor here that has one that is pretty close.

She really is a gorgeous ray with a voracious apetite. My problem is I'm all about the Marbles. Therefore I just don't see myself being able to give this animal the home it deserves. I threw her in with my Marbles after she settled in and they swarmed her and it looked like she was not enjoying any part of it so I removed her. If my Marbles were mellow it would be a different story but they are far from it.

Just curious why they were swarming her? Attempting to mate?

I'm running home at lunch to grab some Binox for a fellow raykeeper up in Canada and will be shipping it off at that time so, since I will be at the courrier anyways I will have a quote for you here in a few hours.

Nope, she is much too small to be in with my mature rays. She was added to my collection of Juvies which are mostly captive breds.

They tend to get excited when anything new is added to the pond. They'll try to pounce on fish, If it's a ray they just smother them. If it's an Armatus they kill it. After the Jag made a few quick darts across the pond I threw a divider in to let them kinda "see" and adjust to her. Pulled the divider the next day and same result. After refusing food for 2 days she was removed. Ate like a champ the following day. It may have just been the fact that she was still a little stressed from shipping then gets tossed in with 5 established rays. I never attempted again cause I don't trust these kinds of endevours in ponds anymore. I just don't feel as though I can observe as well as needed in a pond..... I feel this same situation was responsable for the demise of a VERY nice male Marble I had, so I guess I'm a little gunshy in regards to adding new rays then walking away, I lost a fresh in WC Marble this way, and there was NO way I was about to loose an irreplaceable Jag due to the same mistake.

For those wondering about shipping...... Should easily be less than $200 by the time it's all said and done, O2, heat packs, UPS charge, all that stuff. Having some issues with Fed Ex so I just used UPS for a quote. I think I may be on the heavy side @ 30Lbs too..... So if less water's used it should be cheaper.

Tell me how you want it done and I'll do it..... But I do have to pay my LFS for 02 and bags, and buy some heat packs. I'll be using a standard fishbox.

I found some more recent pics of her (about 3 weeks ago I believe).....

The first ones posted were right after I got her.

Get with me today and make arrangements and I'll eat some of the shipping.....

Will also trade for a nice Marble..........

Prefer Female.....

If anyone is curious at all to the health of this purdy lady I can take some pics tonight after a crawler destroying session...... She swells up to at least twice the size she is in the pics....

Thought I had a potential buyer yesterday. Looks like the joke is on me....
