    Hey all
    Just a update on my ray tank
    Crumpet (bigger ray) truffle (smaller) are both doing well and growing. Think truffle may no longer be a pup based on size. have added a few new residents 4 bala sharks 2 disappeared (ray midnight snacks) and 2 frontosa
    I picked up 7F70AED7-1D52-4A97-8EDD-13FBB49C87EE.jpeg 1F24322F-6E5C-40A0-8CC7-A9AAEB7FB31C.jpeg E0990376-FD60-45FA-8C36-FAD6FDC1C52D.jpeg 85AB7AA1-2440-4EF5-8ABE-45CE085CBD26.jpeg E5F633D1-C731-433A-AB06-44943009CA8B.jpeg 8A800876-1269-484A-B8AA-831DA3F3D447.jpeg 0304F13E-C727-4DF9-A746-529447BBC639.jpeg
    Plan on adding a few more decorations but large interesting drift wood is hard to find.
    thanks for looking

    Looks good.
    Those Rays are stunning. :thumbup:

    What is the Ph & Kh?
    Frontosa usually prefer water on the harder side.

    0ne day yes
    think i prefer king leos and very stripped hybrids to black diamonds
    currently i do think i have enough space long term for more rays so will have to wait a good few years.
    also difficult as my girls are both pretty big, and trying to make sure a 10cm pancake eats in a big tank

    Can get an albino then. Will add to your tank :lol::lol:
    Isn't your tank big enough for 4 rays long term?
    That's another good point. It will look like a real baby in there

    probably is but my girls are not big yet and tank looks rather full already
    but mostly dont really want to do the extra water changes and i am quite used to big tanks with low stocking levels as i keep big cichlids that take up whole tanks.

    That makes a lot of sense. Water change on that isn't going to be easy :lol: I'm sure once all your fish a fully grown will be plenty full:thumbup:
