I must say, though, that this rationale is pretty poor. Do you really think two 4" rays produce the same amount of waste as an 8" ray or three 4" rays produce the same amount of waste as a 12" ray?? Or require the same amount of tankage????? Really don't think so.... not being mean, but this thread just seems silly.
ide wager one of my favorite bodyparts... 2 4" rays produce more waste then 1 8" ray....but i also have to admit to useing step up tanks for my fish. some fish just dont stay with me to adult size... not because they die but because they arent the pets i want... or get bored with them, ormhave compatability issues ect..... will my retics end up in a proper tank? yes... wether its my own or someone elses idk. ive owned my horse for 14 yrs now.. but ive had cats, reptiles, birds, fish ect that have come and gone. usually for compatability or aggression issues, and a few time haveing to put my personal life as priority. it sucks but its reality.
just because you have a massive tank doesnt mean you'll take proper care of your rays... or any pet for that matter.
