i have a 125 wide, i have all the rocks up off the sand bed, they are setting on a shelf type thing to make room for a sting ray, how big do the cals get iv seen a variety of numbers, how old are yours, i hear they are easy to breed
now do they need to have a 300 or is that just because you have 2 of them

i wouldnt try one in anythign less than a 180, they do get 21.8 inches full grown which is a larger aquarium ray . as far as bredding im hoping my female has some pups for me soon but no luck as of yet. they do like cooler water systems as well
a 125 wide is good with the width but not the length, they are very active and love to swim around. i actually got my female from someone on here that had her in a 125 and felt bad and gave her up because she got big too quick and she was crammed in there
mine both have probably 8-9 inch discs on them,, heres some pics
as you can see they love to lay on each other and swim together

Hate to hijak this threat, but would rays similar to yours do well in a 48X36X37 tank :notsure: Curious what you had to pay for your rays

IMO no,, the width is AWESOME, rays dont really need height but my rays do like to swim up to the top and then cruise to the bottom so the height is o.k as well but unfortunatly the length is real bad.. rays discs can get to 20+ inches and thats not with the tail so only a 48" tank would be somewhat torture to a ray since he wouldnt be able to really swim around
my rays are VERY active and swim the tank all day long

my rays have grown considerably larger in only a year, but i also feed them every other day and i wouldnt reccomend anythign less than that..
food for my rays and shark gets decently costly since they eat soo often and soo much! this is another reason why overfiltration is must to keep levels down
