Hybrid Hijinks!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
That male looks amazing !! If you can get them breeding they ought to make some amazing pups..
 
I have one more equally amazing female on the way. Hopefully everything goes OK then I can put them together. The question is James brown- or Barry Maniliou?
 
Well that little fella is one of the best mistakes I ever saw....great pattern!
I totally agree on the hybrid in the video, this is an outstanding stingray, it looks half black ray half brown ray.....a nice compromise for both black and brown enthusiasts.
All the best with the project.
 
Wow, lovely rays and quite a big collection in the making, what size tank are you going to keep them in as adults?

Keep us posted with the breeding!
 
Well the third leg of the harem came in today. She became available almost the same day as the the male back in early March! I had been after this seller for at least 2-3 months-before he finally gave in.:naughty: Thankfully the seller was kind enough to hold her until I got back.

First I check the existing water temp and see how far I have to go to get to equilibrium and start the drip acclimation.

After the acclimation is complete I actually check to see if this one is female haha, but the seller is a great guy who I have ordered from before so I'm confident-and yes it's a she.:ROFL::ROFL:

You have some very nice rays with the most unusual markings. That male was a great bonus. Look forward to seeing what they produce in the future and hope you get something close to the one in the vid.
