hypothetical question

[pitsnake2]

hypothetical question, how long would a retic ray last in a 40 breeder? Ray would be 4" in diameter.

I kept a male and female P. Retic in my 40 gallon standard breeder for 5 months after having them in a 33 gallon for 1 year.
They didn't seem comfortable in the 40 due to its dimensions.
I moved them up to an 80 gallon. Then traded them to someone with a 210.

My honest opinion, if adequately filtered and you had no other options available right now: 12-16 months tops. He will grow and need room, no way to avoid that issue.
Respectfully,
FireMedic.

I was figuring around that amount of time, the reason for this question is because i will be getting an amazing deal on a 40b and have my ray in a 30 and figured the foot print would be better for her.
