Freshwater Rays?

[markw]

I know, I know, this is a saltwater board, but I cant find anywhere that has good info on these creatures. Does anyone know anywhere that would have good info on freshwater ray captive care?

I cant find tons of info on google. I get a bunch of ameture (sp) ray keepers saying "this is what I do, and it has worked thus far. I dont know who to believe.

Most FW rays are much more hardy than SW rays. And are banned in many states. So check that out as well.

Well 3 of my local (and quite large) stores all sell them quite frequently, so I dont think that theyre illegal. But I will be sure to check. Any additional info on the subject is still very helpful. Thanks.

The further north you go, the more lax the state by state laws are. I know in texas there are only a couple fw rays that are legal. Due to the strong possibility of them being transplanted. But up north with colder water, that takes care of unwanted transplants.

Well, I live in Northern Maryland. If anyone knows about the specific species of freshwater rays, I have been looking into the Motoro. Any opinions on that?
