Let's see those hystrix!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Your female is stunning prox, what a beauty! I havent measured mine, but im guessing 25 accross for the female and around 20 for the male, maybe even bigger. Its hard to tell in a huge tank where every fish has exceded their limits :p
 
Ive wanted histrix for a while now so i think im going to finally do it. Ive know someone who is importing some WC ones now but if theyre not true histrix what will they be? Anyone know what rays being imported as histrix typically are now and how big they will get? They look very similar?
 
I have seen rays labeled as "yellow hystrix" that are actually orbignyi, which get way bigger than hystrix. I haven't seen any of the vendors on here bringing in true hystrix for quite some time.
 
Pic a little blurred Rich but good enough to see that what you have is the real deal.
Looks a little cracker, nice long tail too.

Congratulations!

Those are 8-9 months old and near 8"? The female pup from my first litter is a year and a half old and maybe 7". Mine all seem to grow really slow.

Great pics all!
