May I ask what makes them harder to keep? New Ray fan very pretty btw! Your other fish are in great shap as well
First off thank you very much. Retics are harder to keep because they are very fussy eaters. It takes a lot of work to get them to eat a variety of food. I have got mine eating raw shrimp, leaf worms, live blackworms, and one of them eats pellets. It was not an easy task. Where as my marbled motoros will eat almost anything I put in front of them. I could be wrong about this, but I feel they are more sensitive to water parameters than some of the other rays. If I am wrong in this someone please tell me. They are incredibly docile too, at least compared to my marbled motoros.
