Tiger rays

[Honda12]

Do you ever see small tiger rays for sale. Like teacup size, or do you usually only see larger tiger rays for sale. If you can find them for sale how much do they usually run in price.

People usually don't import them because the small ones die so easily, and Tigers are sensative in the first place. They are also one of the larger species or rays, compared to histrix and motoros (often named 'teacups') so you have to keep in mind their live young will be proportionatly larger than that off the other species often labeled teacups.

Young rays like that need to eat 3-4x a day, and they can't handle the day or two of 'purging' before shipment. They stress from the overseas voyage, only to never eat again, curl, and perish.

The smallest I have seen, healthy, was an 8-9" one I believe David Webber had. They go quick at that size, too..

i agree with Miles. DW sold me the last 9 inch tiger he has for now..... check with webber rays always come his way... if you going to keep tiger you need a indoor pond or pool for the long term. tigers are pretty penny plus feed like a pack of dogs..trust me i know....
