Please let me know if have seen them for sale in states close to Louisiana or in the United States period at this site, my email: bassbuildinbubba@yahoo.com, or my phone: (281) - 961- 1526. Thank you for reading and feel free to post any comments at all.

All of my local pet stores in PA sell them.
Most are about 5" and cost $48 usually.

Hey all! Noob here with a question.

I a looking at the possiblility of getting a motoros ray and i was wondering about tank size. I saw the 125 gallon recomendation, but as i understand it, rays stay to the bottom mostly. So a ray does not need a deap tank, just alot of area on the bottom. If i was going to build a tank for a ray of non-glass material, so it was more a pond than a tank, what gallonage am i looking at, or is it then a matter of size? If i did a 6 to 8 foot wide by 2 foot deep (front to back) by 1 to 2 foot high (depth of water) would that be sufficiant?

I read the above post about the indoor pool, something like that but on a smaller scale.

Also im looking so see if someone can suggest a non-toxic sealent i could use to line the tank. If it was build from a strong but toxic material like fiber-glass i would need to use a pond liner or get a sealent material i could paint on to keep the rays safe. I'd prefer the sealent to the pond liner because of flexability.

Anyone have any comments, please let me know. Thanks!
