Ray Tank

I am buying a ray tank, hopefully to solve my problem of the need of a ray. It is 3 ft by 4 ft by 15 inch. The guy says he has a ray and a lion in trhere and used to have a shark. Would this be a good purchase or not? Is that big enough for a ray?

Re: Ray Tank

+1 daugherty would work awesome for a freshwater ray again. It would be a perfect coral propagation tank or a cool top down acan/clam tank. YGPM

Re: Ray Tank

you do what you want but that tank is to small. i could sit here and try to sell you a tank and fish well lets say a big koran angel its in a 30 gal tank and has no problems swiming around in there. . see what i am trying to say that guy just wants to get rid of it and is going to tell you what you want to hear. i am not going to tell you what you want to hear until you are talking about a tank that is well over 200 gallons

Re: Ray Tank

Dude buy it and turn it into a coral propagation tank or a clam/acan tank. I would snag it up in a second if it werent in Utah.
