Just wanted to post an update of my two retic's. My new male (got last Tuesday) has put on some weight, although he's still skinny. He has quite an appetite though, he's even grabbed the end of the pipette I was feeding him with and nearly yanked it out of my hand! The two rays seem to be getting along ok, although they keep trying to steal food from under each others disks.

I got the leaky 125g tank Saturday morning, and its sitting in my spare bedroom for the moment. I'm hoping to get all the silicone scraped out and get it resealed and tested sometime in the next couple weeks. Then all I gotta do is build a stand, convert a 30g tank into a sump, plumb it all, get the pumps and filtration, bioballs (actually scrubbies), get some substrate, and get the tank running. :nilly:

Anywho, here's the pics of the two rays together. The female is the one covered in sand. The pics of the single ray is the male.

The new 125g is going to look pretty bare with just these two baby rays in it to start. Any suggestions on tankmates that wont harass the rays, but shouldnt outgrow the 125g tank anytime soon, if ever?
