Which ray is for me?

[EastCoast280]

I recently posted about getting my first ray...after finding out how much a Leo cost I have decided to go with a different ray as a first ray. A Moto was suggested and I like them but think they get bigger than my tank will support. Ultimately I would love to have two rays but will settle on one if I can keep it and it will be happy. My tank is 280 gallons 72X30X30 so what ray or pair of rays would most likely be happy in a tank this size. Although I would love to upgrade to a larger tank eventually this will never happen. My wife allowed me to build the tank into the wall and it's the biggest tank I could get in the space provided. I just don't have any room for anything bigger.

what about these
Potamotrygon hystrix,Potamotrygon scobina,potamotrygon retic,

 

[Nic]

scobina are basically impossible to get....hystrix or retics would be your best bet....

 

[jwong1024]

although they are harder and more expensive. hystrix are much better looking than retics. 72X30 should be big enough to keep a pair for life.

I agree. IF you can get a retic that was transported well and is eating alright, it should be cake to have your ray looking beautiful and happy in no time. Retics are a bit finicky with food, but beyond that they are easy as anything else. Clean water, food, space.

try a teacup stingray

a teacup is not a type of ray, its just a name wholesalers give cheap young rays because thier disks look like tea cups, so you never know what you get
