Anyone here keeping one? I'm considering buying one and would like to know other peoples experiences.
Thanks,

They 're a pretty cheap ray collecting locally in the gulf. Get pretty large (About 2 feet from tip to tail ) and require a tank with a foot print of maybe about 5x6 feet.
Cortez are the best home aquaria ray, but pretty hard to come by considering only a small number can be pulled out each year. (Due to being a near threatened species)

do they adapt well to the aqurium and do you know their growth rate?
thanks for your time

Yes, they are very hardy, they're growth rate is highly dependent on the water parameters, temperature, and tank size given. They are a pretty fast growing animal if housed correctly, you can slow their grow by keeping them at lower temperatures (low 70's.)
