Nice Rays! I cant wait until I can build a pond for my motoro and add a few more! That tail is redic on the female!

Very nice, it's great to see some castexi threads popping up.
Can't wait to see if there is some pups in your future.

I am biased because I love castexi but to me they are the most under rated ray. There are only a handful that I know of that keep them.

The pics do not do the females tail any justice. I would bet that her tail is almost as big around as a normal sized wrist up at the base.

Here are some pics of them when they were younger. The first 2 are the female when she first came into the US and shortly after DB got her. The next 2 are when the male showed up and about 3 months after he arrived.

They certainly are gorgeous. Is the time stamp on the second pic of female correct making her over nine years old.

No the time stamp is wrong. The first pic of her was taken the day she was imported which was 11/24/08. She was close to 8 inches then. So 1 1/2 years later she is 14 inches. She is probably 2 1/2 years old now.

The male was imported in October of 2009 around the same size as her. He grew 4 inches in almost 8 months.
