plenty of food, excellent water conditions & lots of patience

If you can't be bothered to do it right, don't bother to do it at all

motoro's are probably the worst, retics are supposed to be not too bad....

Hi thanks everyone O0
I have heard that the male can give the female quite a hard time! as you said dreamer hopefully retics not quite so nasty?
As a matter of interest would you advise that the other fishes be taken out? Leaving just the rays in the tank? Smile

depends on the fish...are they worth anything...or of sentimental value? or too big to be eaten? otherwise you need to concider them on borrowed time....altough if the rays are fed enough the other fish will probably be ok...
