I have both and I'd say they're about the same. If you do decide to get both, you need to watch out for aggression between the two of them.

It's very rare that a Zebra Moray eats a fish. I kept a 3.5' one with tiny gobies and there was never an issue. If you keep them well fed they are actually very docile. Mine let cleaner shrimp in his mouth and never ate one.

The problem is that it doesn't cure anything. All it claims to do is strengthen the fishes immune system to help them fight off any parasites. Which means that (for me is was ich) it's still in your tank and can come back at any time.

I tried it for ich. It didn't work. You have to leave your skimmer off for 10 days also. It did give me some great hair algae though.

If you really do want to get rid of your clowns I'm local and would love to take them.

I think you're good to go. 3 hours seems like a long time, but it really shouldn't be that hard on her (One of my rays spent 1.5 hours in a 5 gallon bucket with nothing when I picked it up). Don't stress out so much. Think about what a good time you'll have at a "real" LFS (and don't spend...

A 2'x3' area isn't enough space for a ray to be comfortable. Try re-arranging your rocks so you have more open sand bed. And please don't sell your ray when it gets too big and then just buy a new one. It's not really the most ethical thing to do and I think you'll realize that not many...

Bristletail Filefish

Unfortunately, there are no rays or sharks that will be able to live in a 180 long term. Since you're new to sharks and rays, I wouldn't advise you to start off with a blue spot ray. It's very hard to get them to eat and be comfortable in a home aquarium. As far as tankmates, tangs should be...

No, Mom just needs to get a bigger tank.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before when I said not to house it with the urchin, but it could be getting stuck by the urchin and the black spots are actually little pieces of the spine.

It should not be housed with a bicolor angelfish or pincushion urchin. And even the smallest ray should not be housed in a 75 gallon. Need to know what kind of ray it is and look at some pictures to be of any help.

Any updates on the ray?
