fresh water rays?

hey guys

i was just asked by a friend if there is fresh water rays to put in my tank and i didnt know what to say so i turn to my friends here and know im going to get an answer

 

Yes there is. But they are ########### expensive and very hard to keep. And some grow huge and think SOME ar BL. They need perfect confitions. They dont tolorate nitrates at all

 

And you need a HUGE tank. Cool Idea !!

 

R13000 for a black diamond but they do come cheaper around the R5000 mark for others. Still interested? Get hold of Pet Stop but I think you just missed the shipment. I am sure they will make a plan for you with a sale of that magnitude.

All are BL, and they need large tanks, nice when small! but they can get big, and ask Steve, they can be "pricks", if you know what i mean!

 

i dont think they are all blacklisted and you do get small varieties which i dont see on the BL.

 

for that price i think i will pass

 

I saw 2 freshwater rays last weekend for R1500 each, no clue what type they were. And a giant Jardini for R3k.
They looked awesome! Definitely something I want in my tank

 

Did I hear I giant jardini. Please pm the details of where this was

 

Checked them out
Only one ray left def BL and grows huge.
Beautiful jardini bit sad thou has drop eye starting , colors very faded and barbels worn of from stress
He s stuck in a little 1.2 x 40
Shop owner seems to think its in great condition and the jardini will go in his big show tank when its built I truly hope so cause his not willing to neg under 4k
For it so I don't see it being sold , unless it's to a novice with the belief that they are buying an Asian arowana at bargain like the tried to tell me . Go figure .

 

I went back to the shop and took pics of the Jardini and rays.......
New white / Albino one this week. Very sad he is in a small tank...... Hope he goes to a good home

 

Awesome fish. Sad to see them in that tank.

 

Yip and at that price I don't see it going to an experienced fish keeper, I hope I'm wrong thou.

 

Agreed, madness the price!

 

stunning!! what size tank u need for the Rays??

 

@stormbringer101 i dont know the details of keeping rays but wont they look cool in your big jardinis tank?

 

You'll need roughly 3m x 2m x 500mm. They need big tanks. And very clean water.

 

Damn!! wen im BIG!!

 

He he. Jip. I think a tank for them costs roughly R15 000. Easily.. And don't forget, a sting will still result in a trip to the ER... But stunning none the less.

 

@PopGun which petshop was this taken?
