I know your not, sorry, I may have sounded like I thought you were. That's just to anyone who wants one. They are cool but just aint worth it.

Does anyone on these boards even have one?

Rays aren't at all difficult to keep, if you understand water chemistry and provide them with tanks large enough for them. They don't require species tanks, they don't even necessarily have to cost that much. They just aren't a beginner fish and they ARE a commitment for space and maintenance. All in all, they're great pets that are quite interactive and fun to keep. Just don't plan to keep them in anything under 180 gallons or with anything that can hurt them .

How about a river tank with hillstream loaches mislabelled often by LFS as "stingray plecos"?:grinyes:

I wonder If I can redo my 150 and add some stingrays there.
