Sorry for your loss... its heartbreaking but... keep your chin up and dont sit and blame yourself.. it can happen to the best of us...
Thanks all. I certainly will not quit, do not worry about that. Very frustrated that a set of events lead to a failiure, I am back at home soon and I can make sure it never happens again.
sorry to hear but at least the female is ok.
if your interested in a male pup im thinking of selling the lil guy that was born a few months ago. hes not related to richards as both parents were wild and this is a pup from a female from them so f2 i think..
im far away though.
i have a genny as back up but ive never tested it, ill have to go check it at some point. good luck and i hope the rest of your fish are ok.

First and formost I hope you enjoyed your holiday Cape Verde is a beautiful place probably the best place I have ever visited quad bike experience was brilliant we went to Boa Vista and stayed in the Royal Decameron I think it was
Shame about the ray maybe fit a ball valve on your drip so if waste blocks atleast the sump won't over fill ? Keep your chin up and move forward from it it's horrible to loose rays as you get so attached but it can be a excuse to up the anti be it a new approach to the hobby or a bigger tank which you have already mentioned
All the best and I hope the female recovers

The female is doing well thanks. I have a solenoid valve on the sump and at high level OR no power it is supposed to close, I have tested it but it seems there is some creep. The biggest issue was the pipe popping off the return. I have stripped it out and remove the K1 (Probably a knock off copy) and got some assassi snails to clear out the sump. I will do a weekly test now with zero power.
Cape Verde is a wonderful place and finding its feet in the holiday market. We went out with sharks in a bay and watched loggerhead turtles laying eggs on the beach.
therre are some pics on the sad thread . its worth noting that the problems there have been resolved and seem to have been a one off freak affair (considering ive not had anything similar happen in my experience and i have at least one ray thats over 10 years old).

ill be honest with you. i dont want to sell the little guy, he's tiny and has a great pattern. however, i have too many males so im torn and if i do i want him to go to a good home . i have more small pups due in the next few months as i think several females are pregnant. pm me if you want to sort something out.
Thanks, I have rebuilt the sump now to ensure no further problems, the female is doing well and eating like a pig, I was worried as separated her after breeding once and she stopped eating until back in with the male.
I will pm you shortly
