A short clip of my biggest retic swimming around. She is pushing 12 inches. I can't wait to see what she maxes out at.

Thank you. A lot of hard work and upkeep for these rays! Everyone has told me they are the hardest to keep alive. Not to boast but I am kind of proud of myself for keeping these rays to this condition! I have 3 in there 2 females and 1 male and I actually ended up with a breeding pair. She is on her second pregnancy right now. The work is hard but the results are so worth it.

That's awesome....if we can get more captive retics we can increase the longevity of the species in captivity

She’s a beauty with a very impressive full tail. Don’t see many mature rays with perfect tails , especially reticulata.
