its frustrating when rays outgrow your tanks and you cannot upgrade.
Ive been thinking about skill levels for rays and for ray keeper to have that individual stingray for 8 years is just impressive to me. The level of ray husbandry, dedication
that i takes to keep rays for that long is harder than it sounds.
5 years and still going for my big female histrix. Raised her from a pup, and now she's a good 13". I don't even want to think about loosing my baby. She's outlasted several boyfriends.
Yeah, I know how that goes. Sadly I have had to sell a couple rays because they simply got too big.
Eight years is a long time. I must say, Colin is one hell of a ray keeper. Not many people can say they have kept a fish that long, much less a fish as unique as a ray
Thanks guys.
I moved her from the pond to a 220 with a 11" female scobina. She was approximately 14" at the time. I had a screwy filtration setup on there and it was just not enough.
Came home one evening to find both of them curled and stiff. It was aweful.
I picked up some more histrix to try to fill the spot she left but, it is just not the same. I miss that fish.
My pair of motoros have are about seven years old.

Fish ? A lot of humans cannot take care of their own for 8 years ! Amazing but true..
5 years like Callisto is also a great achievement. Any tips for us newbs on how to keep rays
for more than half a decade?
