Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've gotta agree with the others, the stingray's a no-go, it'll outgrow your tank in no time. The batfish isn't a good idea either, they get huge, like over 2 feet tall, and their survival rate's really low. I mean, it's like FableRex said, they're a tough sell.

My experience with branching hammers has been smooth sailing - I've got one from Indo and two from Australia, all wild, and they're doing great.
