My first ray!

[LumpyFish19]

Always wanted a ray stopped in aquascape and they had just got a new batch of motoros. I picked out my favorite female. She is currently in my 180 with 4 cichla. I have a 210 that is empty and I'm thinking of moving her to it with more rays. here are some pics. let me know what you guys think

That thing is pretty!

your tank size might not be up to par for most member's liking nor for the full grown size of the motoro.

Thanks I am planning on getting a bigger tank when the money is not tight. We are in the process of buying a new house.

I feed nightcrawlers, tilapia, pellets, and a little bit of shrimp. I saw the worm in your pic, but I would pinch or cut the worms into smaller pieces. I agree with the above post about treating with Prazi just to be safe since she is a new addition and skinny. Welcome to the ray addiction.

Buy your black worms from the vendor on this site and buy the worm keepers to keep them in. They last a long time with proper care. I've been buying from them for the last couple tears and the quality of worms is insane. It's nice to get a great price and have them delivered to your front door.

Feed til she is not eating anymore, by that you can see how much she feed.. Count the worms you put in, and you know what to feed next time.. "i added 5, there is a little left", il do 4 next time pretty darn easy.. If she feeds and acting normal, i wouldnt put stuff in.
