Still have not lost a ray yet and don't plan on it, but have only been keeping rays for about a year and a half. I have a 14" male motoro and retic pair. I always keep up on my water changes.

It is definitely a big step. Most WC rays come in skinny and sick. The cheaper the ray the better chance it will be in worst shape and die. My first ray I lost was a female castexi that I paid $400 for. I had her 6 months was a big eater and not a mark on her. One day I came home and she was dead. Then my second was a flower ray that I take the credit for killing. Still upset about that one. Then my last was a female aparicio that came in a skeleton with a bacterial infection. She was doomed from day one.
I've lost 16 rays in 7 years.. I'm keeping 18 rays currently...( pups I sell off.)
2 motoro pups which never started eating... 1 from ammonia spike, 1 huge mm from 1 huge SP from experimenting with medicines, 2 pearls and 1 PDR SP from power failure, 3 baby SP which never started eating, 1 reticulated from ammonia spike, 2 SP pups from a suddenly aggressive female, 1 from a rays curled up and swimming down a small pipe, 1 huge mama after birth and 1 still born.

0 for 0 is my record. I wouldn't ever buy one unless I had a 500 or bigger, cuz I would get obsessed like i do with everything
i wanna try again this summer.
