awesome, i hope these ones do better than the last! Jabba where you serious about me shuffling sharks to you once they outgrow my tank? If so please let me know that way i can base my purchases based apon what you might take as a freebie in the future. Hey may be a couple years but i would rather know what would apeal to you.
These are going into the 1720 gallon tank.
These have been in QT for a month (unlike the batch I got from that lying scumbag Dean Trihn), and I've learned a bit more about acclimating pelagic rays since then too.
Yeah, I'd definitely take some large elasmo's off your hands when they outgrow your tank. Any of the larger species, really (I trust you aren't going after bulls, lemons, grey reefs, etc). But blacktip reefs, white tip reefs, bonnetheads, eagle rays, smoothies, etc all good - basically anything that isn't a regular predator of rays.

So far my eyes have been on a horn shark thats been at the lfs for a little while. Hes small and looks healthy he just really looks unhappy in this 50 gallon.
I think smoothies would be to active to start off in my tank, but hey if mfk checks out with it i am down! I plan on maybe messing around with a fiddler stingray, hornshark, bamboos or some Whitespot bamboos. Any of those sound appealing?
Those crowns look good, I've noticed you have become very knowledgable with these sharks. I remember when you first showed up, you have really taken responsibility for these animals. I trust these rays are in great hands. Good luck

Horns are awesome - I'd definitely have a home for a big one - been seeing some BIG ones lately diving off of San Diego - 5'+ monsters. If you can find a fiddler ray, more power to you - I've been looking for one forever. I'd think that any of the bamboos and catsharks would to great in your tank.
Yea too bad my tank is just a little too small and its only 2ft wide, otherwise i think i could house a whitespot bamboo for life. The 12ft really gives them a good race way though. I plan on overpaying for the fiddler ray, and thats how i plan on getting one. 600$ later i gotta do some saving. Alright ill probably be picking up that horn and maybe a smaller whitespot. Ill be keeping my eyes out for the fiddler too.
great looking rays Jabba, how big across are they? They really make me want a larger set up, but I better not.
