think my tank is ready?

I would go for it cartman . IMO you seem to have a good idea about how to take care of the animals you get . you don't seem to jump on the bus and get the cool fish of the week. and a 125 is more than enough to keep a coral cat. andc to be honest they don't need to be a good tank mate. most sharks are the center piece of the tank and anything else in there is just a bouns .

whats more hardy to care for, a ray or shark?????????????????

 

[sharkguy22]

Shark 4 sho

 

[cartman101]

NO!!!!!! I hate my brain!!!!! Now i want a ray instead of a shark!!! MY choices keep changing

All those pictures of rays make me want to get one right now! MUST SEE PICS OF SHARKS

I think rays are much more active than a shark for your tank. Catsharks are pretty inactive and the rays I've seen have more personality. Get a small yellow... they are very active and will generally become hand tamed pretty quick.

 

[sharkguy22]

I had a yellow and cali and Calis are more active and hardier than yellows. Stingrays are defnatly more active then most bottom shark espeacially coral cats. :happyfish

 

[devildog01]

I would agree, get a cali ray!

 

[exile415]

I like sharks...

 

[mitzel]

Go with the ray cartman. they are far more entertaining to watch and easier to keep. My cortez was a crazy mna he would hand feed and was always swimming around.

 

[cartman101]

but now i herd they are not as hardy as sharks are.....

 

[devildog01]

Neither is hardier than the other...both can be moderately difficult...some impossible...

 

[cartman101]

oh yeah thats right! Because they are both cousins, evolving from one another

just a lionfish and thats it.

 

[devildog01]

That would be cool-a lion and a ray!!

 

[cartman101]

though i do have a niger tigger. he nver nips at anything, he was in a tank with 2 volitans and he never niped at them. Hes shy and calm

 

[devildog01]

I wouldn't do the trigger. He may surprise you one day... :scared: They're known to surprise ya like that! I would just do the lion and the ray! If done right, that would be a wicked tank!

Its my opinion that rays are a bit easier to take care of in the long run, and they are more active than sharks.
