tainte97 Is this your first ray? How are your nitrates. Every since I've had my ray I can't get my nitrates down below 40ppm. I feed him silversides dailey so that may be it. How often do you change the water for him and what is your tank temp?
yes it smy first ray , ive only had him two days so my nitrates are still at 0, but he ate ALOT yest. and today. Also i feed, him, shrimp, silversides, squidd, clams etc. my tank temp is currently at 75.8 degrees becaus ei cant get it any lower yet. like i said its only been two days and i dont want to just drop the temp. within an hour or two so the others in the tank dont freak out! However i want to keep the temp at around 74 or 75 because he is EXTREMELY active and eats ALOT. Also i figure if he wants to cool off a bit he buries himself deep in the sandbed as you can see from the pictures, and the sand is VERY COLD, because i have a 4 inch sandbed, so i think he doesnt mind it.
Thanks for the compliments farmboy!! and ya never know maybe someday ill be a reefer as well!

hey tainte,
ill tell ya what, if every fish i get eats liek he did on the first and second day it would make my life easy!! its kind of cool because he will eat his heart out then when hes full he will swim up to the feeding stick, and quickly turn away as to tell me "get it out of my face im full" they have crazy personalities!!
i also started with about 8-9 crabs left after my cycling and theres only one lucky crab left!!
