(wild caught) HYSTRIX....THANKS AQUASCAPE! lots of picts...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ha ha, better get one when or if he gets more. :)

THis is my first Hystrix, and i would have to say, The best looking brown ray out there.!

Don't the hybrid and the hystix make a good couple? Mantilla/marble x Hystrix :)
 
Great looking pics, I love how he is sitting on the rock! Very cute. I think you got the best one out of the batch. Mine hasnt really a pattern at all so far. I love their body shapes. So different then the other rays Ive owned. Very tall, kind of alien looking to me.

That rock is his spot, that is where he hangs... His color was real washed out at first but has really started to look nice. I agree the shape of them is very different, crazy shark like looking eyes. Jd, is your eating??
 
Tank is a a bare bottom 29 (set up the night before he arrived as I didnt realize how small he was!). Filtration is some mega in tank, maybe a whisper but its all I had laying around. I just took a bunch of biomedia from my FX-5 and put it in there. No mechanical or chemical filtration yet. Temp is about 82-84, pH 7.8-8.0. I havnt treated with Prazi because I will be out of town for the weekend so Im going to leave live BWs in the tank and I dont want the prazi to kill them and foul the water.
