In my opinion Rays will let you know when DO is too low in their habitat. I had a few retics that would splash water all over the floor trying to breath at the surface when an air stone would get old and clogged, and it didnt take very long to figure that out at all.They have no business keeping 50 rays. Should start off small and progress to a larger collection. Aquatics 101! The quote about the 1 new arrival dying from a parasite means they know that rays carry parasites from the wild, but had no idea that 100$ worth of prazipro could have rid the entire batch of rays from internal and external parasites. A real shame.
