CC will scratch their bellies up and lead to infection. Rays need huge tanks with a dsb. They are not for beginners, and can be a problem even for the most experienced aquariasts. I am going to take this over to the agressive forum, you'll get more feedback there. Bo
ps, Please don't type in all caps. Not only is it annoying, but in internet lingo, it implies you are yelling.

I put both your posts on one post so that way you would not have 2 open threads in the same forum. Might get more help this way..
Maybe one day I will get an aggresive setup

You could keep a ray in a 200 gallon, not with a leopard shark though. The tank would be even more overcrowded than it already is. I'd recommend the yellow stingray(I've had one, they're easy to keep) or cortez round ray. They need about 2 inches of ls, definetly not cc. No UGF, they are considered obsolite now-a-days. Get a good skimmer and wet/dry. My ray ate the same food as my shark. It also ate from a feeding stick like my shark.

Pancho, thanks for taking off the all caps. Now if we could just work on using punctuatuion . I'm glad to hear you are taking it slow and doing it the right way. Maybe I missed it, but what size is your tank? Bo
