Ray Tank

[yoimb0b]

I have a tank that is 40" long, by 36" wide by 20" tall. How long/ how many rays would work in that tank? I have one motoro and planning to get some more. I know I will have to upgrade later and that will not be a problem, I am just wondering about how long it takes for them to grow, as my motoro is about 6". The tank used to be a sump at a fish store which is why its such akward dimensions, but its about 125 gallons.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. THanks!

You can probley go for a long time with them in there but you will have to upgrade to somthing lik 8*3*2 or better 8*4*2 but that will be fine for a while

I agree. That size would be good for awhile for young rays. As for growth rates..... I've seen a female hit 18" within 18 months. Motoros can reach 12" across the disk by the time they are a year old.

Keep this in mind along with how long you plan on waiting to get a bigger tank. If it's going to be awhile before the new tank, Don't keep more than two motoros in your smaller tank.

If only it was longer as that would have been a good tank but youd be fine for a good while.
