Oh, cause the LFS near me has him in a 100 gal and says that its fine.
Yes, it's fine for the couple of weeks that the LFS will house it until it gets sold. If you want to keep a ray for more than a month or so then your tank is insufficient.

yea it stinks, def since the ray was 110, thats a big loss for me and its a loss of the life for the ray. I thought my tank might have been 2 small for it but thats why i figured to post up here
. Also what would you guys consider a large enought tank for a ray. This one he has was very small, but he never told me how big they got he just said this speices stays small and you can hand feed them lol.

Yes, Rays are very cool and very smart too. As for tank size, it really depends on the type of ray.

I am just going to take a wild guess and say its a cortez ray . It is one of the smaller more sutible to home aquarium rays . But it still needs a large tank . I would keep a full grown one in nothing less that a 240. A 120 gallon would work for a short period of time . Rays are extremely amazing fish to keep and have great personality . They are very easy to tame and hand feed . But the do requier some specific things for there care . If you have the time money and desire I say go for it .

kind of off topic but, what about a snow flake eel and my gobies still bad? I saw on he chart that eels are compatiable with gobies, but maybe a little snowflake wont be a problem? what do you guys think, i just want to get something besides just fish and coral to make the tank look a bit more exotic.
