keepinfish just buy a cururu already lol. you keep talking about them and are always curious i just think that they are selling a retic maybe a red as them. the three i got even the dead one had the same look and same tail. but you never know you might luck out lol.

Ha Ha originally i was asking about cururu looking and hoping for Brazilian hystrix... Turns out they were something else. Then i seen OP pictures and thought, i have had one of these rays, and do not think it is a retic either. I have been looking for a female of this type of ray. These rays usually have very good attitudes and are very active.... THey seem to stay smaller and have slower growth rate that Hystrix, which makes it a very desirable ray.
 
i think my shipping was around $60 but i also got a few other fish but really i dont think it will be much different than your two ray were check out the cooler size and if you think you can fit another ray in there then thats what he will use.

could fit another ray in it, but i think the weight would change the price...i paid $44 for mine to get shipped
 
weight difference wont be much so i would say just expect about 50. also how often and what all are they eating? there looking good.

they eat primarily, live black worms, frozen blood worms, might be eating some mysis shrimp, i think they are eatting market shrimp alittle...they are scard of crawlers and they play with ghost shrimp...they smash the shrimp into the sand and leave them half covered...they might eat some at night but idk...i see them eat the black and blood worms...they get excited when market and mysis shrimp are added...strangley they also get excited with the crawlers though they seem scard of them if they touch a chunk...i try to feed them 3 times a day, but atleast twice daily...
 
ya bout the same here the shrimp they try to chase but seem to be just right at to slow to get them lol. but in the morning all 40 are usually gone and i dont think the bgk's are eating all of them.
 
a few pics i just took 1st pic the ray in question(no flash), 2nd pic my other male, then together
