i like that last pic

 

[andersp90]

Wow! :O

 

[Shawn L]

Everything is always for sale,depending on how much i like it.Mainly holding most of the larger rays are for future breeding.Have around 110 rays on hand right now,most for sale are the smaller ones.

Wanting to get a straight King Henlei line going for sure,out of 100 1 may have some king blood ,1 out of every 200 is a actually fully marked King.

Also working on getting more Spider Hybrids for future breeding.

Wow that's a lot of rays! Great job!

 

[digginrays]

i bet its expensive keeping them warm in the cold minnesota winters.
why do you have blue tarps in the ponds? extra protection for the liners or ??.

 

[DB junkie]

Looks like some new blackies. Some real lookers in there.....

NOT jealous of that feeding bill.......

 

[FishDog]

Impressive as always, I agree with DB, not jealous at all of your food bill but am of your stock. I have always admired the large hybrid female in pic #3 of pond 1

I wanted to try the tarps out over the black pond liners ,not for warmth for visability ,but even when i adhere the tarps to the liners ,the rays alwasy seem to loosen it up ,eventually i'll have to remove all the tarps.

Food bill isnt cheap,espeacially when you add black womrs in it for the small rays,and new rays.

That big gal is a brute,really just a pain the ass sometimes,she actually stung me nto too long ago when she was still in the 4x4 acrylics.Any male that tries to breed with her better stay on gaurd or she will kick his axx.
