freshwater stingrays

First topic message reminder :

does anyone keep freshwater rays?

Just to let everyone know. There is a guy in Boutte, Louisiana that carries fresh water stingrays. I know a guy who recently set 100 gallon shallow cube tank for a group of stingray... Not sure what he is doing now, but he definitely carries them.

u can go to walmart and get a "Butterfly Loache"
haha its a loache that looks like a baby sting ray except they suck on tha glass n stuff!!! it had me fooled until i read the lil sticker explaining the name
and price!!! cost about 4 bucks and sum change!!! lol

i seen these the other day the lfs and almost got one.

I had one 5 years ago or so that I bought from a local store. Had him for a year in a 68 breeder tank with fine coral sand. He was roughly 12" across the disc. Learn from my mistake... I decided to put a Gibbiceps pleco in the tank with him. Two days later, I got up to leave for work and the Gibbiceps had settled on the ray while he was sleeping and eaten a hole almost completely through him (which obviously killed him). Also, just because a store has the fish dosen't mean they are legal to own. Stores make mistakes too. I have seen Piranha's, rays, and electric catfish in stores, and none of these are legal to own in TX.

yeah butterfly loach!!! i got 2!!! pretty koo if u ask me
electric cat fish??? dam!!!!! thats kool!!!!
i want 1!!! haha

Yeah... I um... *cough* *cough*... might have bought the electric catfish... My wife was not amused. It looks kind of like a freckled phallus (Sorry)... Here is a site i found on them: Electric Catfish
