hystrix ray

[dr_sudz]

This place is killing me.. Im soo torn on the kind of ray i want, Im just wondering what the price range a hystirx ray goes for? sigh, what kind of rays does everyone have and what is the cost range of yours? Have any suggestions for first ray?

not sure on prices in the us but i would go for a motoro around 6''.
there a hardier ray and what i started with.

Motoros are good for a begginers and hardier but motoros can get pretty big. rvrays has an 18in motoro female and I saw her in person and she is a monster as far a size goes and and she is thick. If you want a smaller ray go for a reticulata, histrix, or scobina. They are not as flashey as a motoro or some of the other rays out there but they wont get super huge. I started out with a reticulata and mine is doing exelent and it is only 5in. Plus it only cost me $44 and a motoro can cost upwards of $100. If you have the space though then by all means get a motoro or something else but otherwise I would suggest a smaller ray.

whats the minimum size tank to house a motoro ray for life?
what about a hystrix?
leo?

im planning a 180 gallon, 6x2x2, dont really want to raise a ray , and have to upgrade tanks again, so im asking.

As far as i know, you need a wide tank, remeber with rays your talking width as well as length, a motoro will get to 14"+ so you need atleast 18-24" wide.

You would need at least 30inch wide tank for motoros. The tank I am planning on getting for my motoros is a 6'x4'x2', I still feel it could be bigger for the motoro pair I am getting but thats all I can afford right now.
