    I have always wanted to have a ray, but my tank isn't big enough :cry:

    This was the display tank at the lfs that I got my lung from

    @Val... that's exactly how I felt when I saw it was of the list... @Reedfish... that tank is amazing... as for the rays, they are absolutely awesome fish to have.

    @Cesar,

    It was an amazing tank
    Amazon biotope with the lung, the rays, red hook sliver dollars, various cichlids, fancy plecs, flagtails

    @Reedfish... well I have a similar goal in mind with the rays and Asian arowana (RTG) also been thinking of getting some red hook silver dollars, but you battle to find. only seem to get the normal silver dollars.

    That's a shame.
    would they be more potentially invasive than standard silver dollars?(are those b l too?)

    I have had red hooks in the past.
    With my last SA set up
    Would get them again, but it's already a bit crowded
    maybe I need a bigger tank.......for the red hooks. And rays of course!
