I recommend buying captive bred rays from a reputable local breeder or one that ships but only buy from reputable sources.

To expand on this try to make sure you can see them feed before you buy one. Then reguardless where you get them treat them with prazipro for a week or 2 to be on the safe side.

+1 for this. Don't get excited and buy a ray that's extremely skinny. Being a beginner it will most likely die.

Hey, I see you found MFK! There are some serious ray keepers floating around this forum and once in a while they will part with a pup! Alot of these guys helped me become successful at keeping my rays healthy and thriving. Don't think there is another forum on the web with more combined ray keeping experience! See you at the store soon...I think I'm gonna grab that big clown knife if it's still there!!
