Pro and con of captive breed and wild caught

[vamptrev]

hmm, with the wild caught P13 9" is first export from brazil to Montreal canada, then settle in fish store for 7 days, the fish store make sure the fish eat before he ship it to toronto.
the CB 6" is already at toronto for over a month, eats MP worm and sinking pellet.

WC is $400 cheaper than the CB.

so, what do you guys think, which one to choose.

if 400 bucks is the only difference... DEFF CB!!

which one has the better pattern?

Just out of curiosity, who are you getting the ray from?

 

[FCCM15]

not from lfs, a private sale.

buy the CB...

 

[swede]

pretty much anything wild caught has high risk of parasites

 

[African_Fever]

go captive. All the guys up around here with the bacterial problems have had them with wild caught rays.

alright, i make up my mind to get captive breed, i should get it next week, before the arrival i probably need to lower the PH in my tank to 6.8

 

[sodenoshirayuki]

if its from jesse, dont bother, very bad quality rays...

 

[FCCM15]

why is that?
the size? colouration? not eating? or something else?

I was planning to get a few from him before until he showed me some pics, half of the "leos" were motoros and were mixed in with leo pups and they were all with broken tails and were all shedding slime like mad, they werent looking all that great either.
