Rays with Tig

[swedeboy78]

I just ordered a small 7" Tig which I'm stoked about I might add! My question is how do you think it will do with my 5 rays that range from 5" to 8"? The most aggressive ray is my male Leo at 5-6". The largest is a pretty calm female Hystrix. I've got plenty other tank mates in there but none that just lay on the bottom.

I think it's a pretty tough call tig I feel at this point won't be eaten but Leo will grow faster then tig and may be to much stress. Would try and watch closely.

Grow the tig out a bit more before you mix with the rays imo. Still fragile at that size and looks super skinny.

Can I ask where you ordered from and if there were any left?

OSA just got him in which is why he's a little thin I'd imagine. Only one they got.

I was contemplating of putting him in one of my 40 breeder but then I was thinking it could be better to intro him to the rays while they're all young ad similar size.

Just wanted your guys' input.

damn I was going to grab this guy! you must have been the one who called right before me!

But yeah I agree I'd probably put him in the 40 gallon breeder and let him broaden up a bit before he goes in with the rays.

If hes fresh from the wild he deff needs a qt tank first. I vote 40 gal

Nice Tig!!! You got lucky, I saw three people on Facebook that wanted that fish, and 274.99 wasnt a bad price for that size!!! I wouldnt risk it, put it in the 40!!

That actually seems like a really high price.

I got a 14" one from a member here in the Spring for about the same price but they are harder to find right now, hence the higher price.

I agree with the others that it should be grown out a bit in another tank...they're not so hardy when small.

Agreed. Supply and demand. I paid $125 for a 5" a little over a year ago. It is 18" now =]
