Potamotrygon hystrix

[njackson]

i coul keep it in a 4ft x 2ft or 5ft x 2ft for a year or two , probaly two years, i think of getting a external filter with the heater inside , but if i go for the 5ft tank , could it fall through the floor , i don't it to go through ( parents house)

i might get a Potamotrygon Reticulata if they are easyer to find and cheap and do anybody know the grow rate .

 

[njackson]

might get a Potamotrygon scobina if they are easyer to find and cheap and do anybody know the grow rate . and can you get them in the uk

 

[turkeyboy85]

hystrix and scobina are illegal to export out of brazil, so they are very hard to find because the only way you can get them is through breeding retic rays you can get through your lfs on a regular basis

how long will a Potamotrygon Reticulata stay in a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank

A few years.. they dont grow too fast, but have long tails..

not a good starter ray though, not very hardy(bad eater)..

What tankmates do you plan to have? 120g is not a very big tank for rays..

Might consider holding off until you move out of your parents house..
