The wife bought me a juvie retic for valentines day. I got to pick it up from the The Wet Spot in Portland. I spend a solid hour there walking through hundereds of tanks. Very cool day.

Sneak peak, she is little...

WOW! that is one long tail on her! Any in-tank shots yet?

She is still drip acclimating. Waiting for thr digi to read the same temp as the tank before I add her, 3 more degrees to go.

She is going one of the SA tanks with these. The algea is becaue the tank is in front of a window and my UV took a dump on me. :irked: Sorry...

Very nice Justin. You'll love it. I'm hooked. Do you know what they were eating at the store?

Thanks Joey! She was eating live blackworms so I got some while I was there. I didn't get her at the store (The Wet Spot) I got her directly from the importer. She is WC from Columbia, they are going to pull the invoice and get the exact collection point for me tomorrow. It was really cool seeing the importers facility.
 
Sweet. That's awesome. Cool way to feed them the worms that I have been doing is to use one of those big syringes, and inject the worms into the sand. The rays seem to go nuts looking for the worms, and when they find them it's really cool to see them digging around in the sand and sucking them out. Hope your fish don't act all crazy like mine did when I introduced my rays.

Thanks for the tip bro! :thumbsup: Are you talking about one of those turkey baster (spelling) things or a different kind of syringe?
