Hello !!!

[Ernesto]

Hi guys !!!

Im from Venezuela, but i've been living in Barcelona-Spain for the last 10 years, and as Fabien is the only known French over here im pretty sure im the only Spanish. Unfortunately there are not many rays in Spain. In private aquarium there are only 2 leos (both males, mine and my friend's), and a Pearl female (the White Pearl on the photo forum, wich is not white but just gorgeous). After that there is one young female leoXpearl at my place and her brother at my friends place. And we think THAT'S IT !!!!!....can you believe it???.

Well, you know.....big fish, big aquarium.....people dont like reponsabilities, and here you take them out of a 60lt tank with a few goldfish or guppies and you're nuts !!.....

My tank: 250x100x50cm. 2 Fluval FX5. 150kg silica sand. 1 20cm/8 months old leo male. 1 14cm/7 weeks old leo-pearl female.

My male (and im pretty sure my friend's too) came from Germany to Portugal (to Alberto) and then to Spain, if any of you find it familiar tell me, my male was yours before !!!.

Best regards.
Ernesto Roa.

Welcome to the forum Ernesto, great to have someone from Venezuela/Spain.

Cool to hear you are pioneers in your country

Do you plan to start breeding your rays also?

Welcome Ernesto!

Great to have you here.

[Ernesto]

Its not my plan as there is no market for stingrays here in spain, but as it will happen someday im happy...!!!....jejeje, its not a plan, but i'll keep in touch with all of you in case you want one of my baby rays when i finally raise them. It will be great to have more hobbists in Spain but honestly i find it almost impossible.

Ernesto buenas dias!!!Welcome here on this forum.

Welcome Ernesto!
Where does the nice Pearl come from? Portugal too?

[Ernesto]

The big mamma?, no. My friend bought her in Switzerland a few years ago (maybe 5). The only coming from Portugal are the two leos.....by now.
