Just showing off some of my Rays

[Dogvet06]

Beautiful Rays! Im sorry about your son, I wish him well. My husband and I had a blue spot ray in our SW FOWLR tank and unfortunately the live rock was a cause of death. We loved that ray and he got trapped behind the rocks and died. We were devastated and tore down the tank. Its been sitting empty in our living room for 6 months but now I have converted the tank over to my Discus tank. They are just as wonderful for me to watch but I know my husband would rather have the ray Here was "Dyson"

Wow love that male especially but both are very nice. Truly hope he does grow to look like either. Really love the pattern on your female also.

Thanks Tara

Thanks Kraig,

First two came from Shawn (snakeskin) on aquabid and the last one came from a friend of my bothers who lives near Evansville, IN

Sean,

In order for rays to do well in an aquarium, doesn't the tank have to be at least 6' or longer? Also, what are the sizes of yours rays and how many do you keep per tank?

I read a ray book my brother has and it says a good starter tank for small juvie rays is a 90 gallon tank. Mine are all around 4"-7" right now I just have them in a 180 because that was what I had to put them in which is way bigger then they need right now. But to really answer your question it really depends on who you ask. Just like on here you will get 20 different answers I can just tell you what I have done and worked for me. I started off keeping two hystrix rays in a 90 with no problems at all didn't move them to a bigger tank until they reached 6". Rays produce more waste them discus so it is nice to have good filtration. My brother has four 10" rays in a 200 running on two canister filter but he has that setup on a drip system as well. IMO if they ray has room to swim around then he has plenty of room most ray people I know say when there nose and tail stretch out and touch front and back of the tank it is time to upgrade.
