Yellow rays and cortez round rays are both pretty hardy and only need about a 180 when adults. They're basically the same kind of rays exept they have different markings. Yellow rays are easier to find though I also have some experience keeping one. you can find a pic of one here on the saltwaterfish.com "stringrays" section.

If I remember correctly, you want a tank that is 2.5x the physical depth (LxWxH) of the diameter of the sting ray (so they can turn around).

Hey "Jim", I have hatched 2 bamboo sharks and had real good luck with them eating (krill). Then for no reason the would die after about 2-3 months. My tank is a 150 with a snowflake eel. volitan lion, and a orbic batfish. I would like to get another shark but I do not want the animal to die on me.. Any help and suggestions on who you keep your shark(s) alive would be appreciated..

I have no idea why yours died Indy. It could have been bad water quality(would have to have been really bad though), over feeding, or maybe they were stung by the lion(I seriously doubt it thoguh). Its almost impossible to tell what killed them now.
All I do is feed mine every 2-3 days, just until they look full(not too full though) and do 50-60g water changes once a month to keep the nitrates down. IME they're very easy, hardy fish to keep.

Water quality is excellent. LFS suggested maybe the all krill diet could have caused problems with the sharks digestive system??? I will probably hatch another soon. They are such beautiful creatures...

Yeah, I didn't think water qualtiy was the problem since these sharks can take living in bad water for a while.
You should feed them a varied, although I don't know if feeding all krill would kill them. That may be a possibility though.
