    OMG im so excited, today i caught an electric ray at the beach, he shocked the crap out of me when i got him out of the net to the bucket. He's freakin amazing and awesome. Oh, wait, he just dug in for the first time. I have him in with 2 tiny blue damsels, im not worried if he shocks or eats them though, its cloudy because i just added more sugar aragonite for him to dig into. I just moved the rock into the corner to give him more sand space. and i just finished fishless cycling so i think the tank can handle his bioload with good maintenence He is just so awesome, firsto of all he has a camo pattern, then he is half ray half shark because he has a shark tail not a fish tail, and on top of it, he's a freakin living tazer!!! Planning to get a 100g+ for him. Unfortunately he was nicked on the rim of his disc from capture. Video link below
