thx onion! :D

i rescued those two rays, the owner can no longer keep them because of home improvement and his indoor pond needs to go.

the orbignyi is massive! and when i pick up the motoro it already lost part of its tail. the owner said it was biten off when he was smaller by other rays. but it does have unusual black colour circles and funky spotting lol

thx redDevil :)

he was in poor shape when i 1st got him. all pale and not much colour, but now he been with me for over a month now and feeding very well all the cuts have heal up (the owner kept it with dead live rocks from his old marine setup) and put on lots of weight as you can see from the pics.

im so happy that i rescued him, he is a lovely ray :naughty:
