Here is a link to a video I shot today. Feel free to check out the rest of my vids on my Frontosa tank and Demasoni tank too. Let me know what you think. The leo x pearl is the dark male, obviously the rest are just plain motoros. One question, whlat is with the one with the thick lines around it's dots? I like the look and haven't seen many like it.

Really Nice. The black one stands out among the montoros. Any of the rays have babies yet. I think the black line around the dots is just their pattern. Do u plan to put more top swimmers like ST widebars or Bass? coz there're lots of swimming spaces for more cool fish. Nevertheless, it's awesome set up and fish.
 
Very nice tank! Good stocked! As above i would not have recomended more fish in there, it was pretty stocked imo.. But hey, i dont know what filtration you have!
 
Nice ray carpet! Leo/pearls are one of my favorite hybrid rays! Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks for the compliments. To answer afew questions. Tank is a 240 with a sump as a primary biological filter with 13 gals of bioballs set up wet dry with a recycle loop to back the return pump back and in case the prefilter ever gets clogged so my bacteria don't dry out. Prefilter is 200 micron filter pad changed ever two to three days to maintain clarity. Sump rated at 400 gallon system but with the overfill of bioballs closer to 600. Also have a lifeguard 900 fluidized bed filter as a hang on with the pump input halfway down the tank so I never have to shut it down whendoing water changes which are 50% weekly. When it is all said and done about 1500 gallon biological rating which seems to keep up well with the twice dailing feedings of 6 oz of silversides or shrimp.

I have thought of something for the middle of the water, bass or dats, maybe even a vamp tetra. What do you guys think, is it a good idea seeing that my leo x pearl is mature now and trying to breed with the big female motoros? I have other places for the pups but I don't want to see such pretty babies end up as lunch.

Also, I got a flag tail to clean up the turds the rays leave behind and healmost got merked by the arowana three time in five mins. So he is with front now to grow out. Had fronts about 6 inches but the started getting taken out, and tinfoils early on but they can't take the water temp out the tap inthe summer which comes out the tap at 84.
 
I love Leo x pearl. Is the parentage Leo male x female pearl or the other way around?
 
Rays look nice healthy and active

Think you need a tank up grade soon the length is perfect but you need more width as a 13 Inch ray is still a baby

That said the rays look great
