Motoro Ray

touch of the algae.

and the florida gar snuck in for this shot.

couple of convict fry too...

that is sooooo cool... do u think stingrays are harder to keep than discus? its dunny how the ray doesnt mind the gar ''on top'' of him hehe

I never lost a discus, but I lost my first ray in 12 hours, I don't claim to be an expert, but rays seem harder. And its a trick of the camera, the gar is about 6 inches above the ray :>

Nice motoro, i love the long tail varient.

Depends how you define harder, rays dont take any changes well and will die if even the slightest little thing is wrong, most rays will die within the first 48 hours if you get anything wrong, they are also highly sensative to almost all aquarium treatments so if a ray gets sick then its almost certain it will die unless you take it to a specialist vets. BUT, once aclimatised and eating providing you keep the water clean and the nitrates low rays are very hardy fish and become a joy to keep where as discus seem to need almost constant pampering or they start to sulk and get sick.

Thats Awesome!!!

I love the gar. How big is it?

maybe 9 inches... it stays around 24" , much more accomodating than the alligator gar reaching a likely 96"ish

Must be a camera trick, it looked like it was about 2 feet. What tank are these guys in? Are they the only ones in it?
