Ok, I have posted before about the growth rate of my female triple spot motoro....bought last Feb 2009 at 5-6 inch diameter, now at 20-inch diameter, over 30 with tail. She is in my 24 wide (72" x 30" x 25 high) and is now causing the tank to smell after a couple days after 30% water change. SHe is in with a small (8-inch) male hystrix, and a couple larger cichlids..........I feel the tank is now to small for her, and I dont want her to die from bad water quality. I am contacting local aquariums, but they dont seem interested.......what am I gonna do, as I cannot justify the cost of a larger aquarium, less then a year after I purchased the 240.........Is there any interest out there in the Philly area??/ I will not ship her......Is there any aquariums other then Camden, that may want a big ray? I am bummed about this but do not want the ray to die!!
Thanks for looking!

Must be the roids JK. My female half marble has only grown 6" in 16 months 
.......I do 25-30 % water cahnges once a week, and only in the last month did tyhe small/nigtrates start to climb a little..unfortunately for me, her growth rate is too much for me.....I will miss her, but she needs a real home. I never expected her to outgrow my new tank in a few months, she probably will nbe a genetic giant!??....the 240 ngallon tank is 30 inches wide, so she does touch both sides when sideways......I am working on a couple leads for aquariums for donating her, I will post pictures again , but its tough for me to do away from home......there are some pics on some former posts.
