Thanks for the id. Picture was taken in 2006 while dining here: http://www.aquariumrestaurants.com/aquariumnashville/default.asp

Anyone know if the place is still there? Website says they were closed due to the floods.

Landry's Aquariums have Honeycomb rays, which is what that is.

Looks like an atlantic ray - they aren't freshwater animals, but people who claim they can be also ask why their ray died about a month later.

The reason people say they 'can' be FW is there is a FW population of them in FL. Sadly, those aren't the animals showing up in the pet trade and it's cost many rays their lives.

Well this one is a baby from a pair that were raised in fw. The babys were born in fw. I know the guy who has the pair.
