does anyone know of any leo pics on peace river??? i rely want to try it but im afraid im gonna buy 200lbs and not like how it makes the leos look :irked:


Trevor,if you remember what the gravel looked like in my 240,very similar looking. I do have Peace River in one of my tanks containing Geo's,as far as with rays...it is multi colored,so to me it kind of act's like "camo" have always thought that solid colored substrate made all stingrays stand out more (contrast). I am surprised to hear that you did'nt like torpedo beach all that much,especially with a black ray?

my male from fastfreddy has very bright white spots, but after i added the torpedo they dont seem as bright :(

thinking the peace river will look a little better

AshleySomething's FS thread has lots of pics of rays on Peace River, incl. Hystrix: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=331881

Thanks for the links. The hystrix look good on it. I've got mine on river sand right now, but it's rather light colored.

Bet black rays will look good as well. I think they look better (contrast) on a lighter background.
