Picked up this little female today ! Total surprise as i phoned to the stockist to enquire about Discus but they said they had some rays which i had been after for about a year now. She is only about 5" but looks healthy, not too thin. I already have a male and female Orb at about 12" and 14" so this new little baby got some catching up to do !! Here is a quick pic of her acclimatising. I will get some more shots next week when she has settled in.

Very nice pickup. I love seeing rays with full tails.
 
very nice...
 
Great looking little orbignyi you have there.
 
Thanks guys. She ate some worms whilst she was in that bucket so i have good hopes for her. Only trouble is i only have one other tank apart from my main 6x2x2. This other tank has two Bichirs in it and is only small. I am reluctant to put the ray in there to feed her up even if i remove the Birchirs as it is only a small volume of water. So i have put her in the main tank with the other rays. She has settled well but i am worried she will not get enough to eat. What do you guys think ?
 
Stuffed loads of food in the tank on two occasions today and she started eating !! Looking good and i will post some more pics next week
