My new hystrix

[sixpack_ey]

This hystrix is from Jeff Rapps at Tangled Up in Cichlids. I would highly recommend him. Good communication during trasaction, glad to answer my questions, and the stingray arrived in great condition and was packaged very professionaly. He QTd the stingray at his facilty, treated for possible parasites, and as you can see the stingray has been well fed.

Here's an update on this guy. He is probably about 9 inches now. Still only eating nightcrawlers (my fault). Tankmates are eight discus.

I would check the sticky in this forum for species info, but I believe for males usually 10-12" and a little bigger for females.

Beautiful tank.

And I guess I had been misinformed about hystrix. The ones I had seen were all ugly. Not so with yours. I would be totally OK with one of those, and it would be allowed in my tank too. Thanks for the inspiration!
