NEW CRYSTAL VERSION ? - Page 3

Hrmmm, I wonder what constitutes "a powerful electric charge." Is that like knock out a fish and tick off a human, or to the point where it could knock out a human also? They sound like feisty buggers though.

200 Volt @ 8 amps should knock most people out

Oops, I forgot about those guys. I guess my previous comment should have said something more along the lines of "Most common rays do not shock, but instead use a stinger". My mistake!

My local aquarium shop does keep rays in with other fish. Theirs are not very colorful, though.

There is a new Marine aquarium shop supposed to be opening here soon. I am going to go there and see what they have when they do. It's been awhile since I ran a real aquarium of my own, and I don't think I want to try and set up a new one just yet. But some ideas or maybe a good marine book wouldn't hurt.

Steve ( & Jim),
I found some more pics of Rays (a few blue spot stingrays are included, as well as others). You can take a look at them here: http://www.oceanlight.com/lightbox.php?cs=81
(Make sure you click on "See Large Version" link under each image, to see (of course) enlarged image.)

I also found some more basic info on the Blue Spot Stingray (Taeniura lymma) as well as one image of one (captive blue dot ray) in an aquarium. Take a look here: http://www.exotictropicals.com/encyc...s/bluespot.htm

Also if anyone is interested (especially Jim! Maybe he will consider adding a ray to the freshwater aquarium?), you can visit Bud's Freshwater Stingrays & check out his Freshwater Stingray Gallery located here: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/M...0/gallery.html

PS, Steve I hope these help some (also hope they motivate Jim to add a stingray to one of the aquariums).
