yes, they are quite large , i forget there size off the top of my head., i wanna say 10" ? my avatar pic was a crowded group photo. the best with getting all of them in the shot but it gives a overcrowding condition impression, would a slight nitrite issue be a problem for the rays ?

ur tank is almost cycled.
i would wait. the rays are gonna cause a spike, unless u dont feed them.
P.S. looks like ur cat is gonna eat ur rays
i was thinking a dose of bio-spira with the rays may speed things along ? but in theory i would be adding more nitrites to the tank making the problem worst ? the more think about it and read the help from you guys , i think i am going to wait. no way around mother nature .

dont think that will be a issue , i have 30pds of bio media in a built in wet/dry system + 2 fluval fx5's

30 pounds of Un-Cycled BioMedia doesn't do you much good..
Ammonia + Nitrites + Rays = Dead Rays.
You should have zero Ammonia, and Nitrite.
I am assuming your cycling your tank? If that's not the case, you don't need rays yet
Fix your water quality problem first. PS. Your LFS has ammonia, too? What the?!?!
