I think you're also correct, look how often people want a ray but can't even be bothered to buy an $8 book about how to keep them, we see it all the time on these forums
Very true and it is a damn shame
thats so true... rays arent like most other fishes where that extra care is needed.I think you're also correct, look how often people want a ray but can't even be bothered to buy an $8 book about how to keep them, we see it all the time on these forums
but glad to see many true hobbyist creating great tank and pond environments and breeding these wonderful creatures....
i have heard from a very reliable source that says that no rays are coming out of brazil and its not gonna happen for a long time if at all.. if i told ya who told me that you would believe it to but i am not a name dropper
i would take a male but im sure the chance of that is slim(i will rent one
lol)i hope they breed even more in that new 480
i hope colins histrix will breed soon to
i will be seeing that mega tank on the 9th next month when i go to pick up some ray pups
of course its for a big breeding plan any hard core ray keepers would have known a ban would happen sooner or later
i cant understand why something like the mega tank has never been set up in the US then you would have nothing to worrie about with a ban or were you guys waiting for them to be put on the CITIES list like asian aros so you can moan about not being able to get then
I'm actually happy the Brazilian government finally cracked down on ray export. I love keeping them, but I've seen too many die at the hands unscrupulous LFS sales people or online sellers and well-meaning but inexperienced hobbiests who have neither the experience nor the means to take care of them long term. I'd rather be moderately inconvenienced and pay a little more for captive-bred animals than see the wild populations decline.
