Marble motoro, Hystrix, or regular motoro stingray

Hey guys
Asa few of you know I picked up a henlei based hybrid from my lfs. Right when I took him home his disk started to curl. I kept the lights off and added melafix and it wen away. He was eating and doing very well, until my giant gourami attacked him. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back. And since the lfs wouldnt give me my money back even though the fish was very skinny and malnurished when I got it home.
I have now learned my lesson and I will only buy rays from reputable dealers and since I really want a ray other than my male reticulated and since I just spent a large amount of money on the henlei that died, I cant afford another one but I can afford one of the cheaper rays.
I would prefer a baby just because I like to watch my fish grow up and my budget is $300
If you have another kind of ray (other than reticulated) and is under $300 dollars I will defenitely consider it.
I have lots of things to trade if you'd prefer to make a trade
thanks

As Jay said, go with Mike at Ohio Discus. He has outstanding quality CB marbleds. He also knows how to take care of the fish and rays he sells.

Central Ohio Discus, reputable LFS and/or hobbyists as that's the only place I have bought rays and can recommend. Make sure when buying a ray that it isn't skinny and you may have to get rid of you giant gourami as little rays have no way to protect themselves against an attack by such a big fish.
