Welcome David.

For how many years did you keep stingrays?

[DavidW]

total of about 10 years before my rays finally ate my house! I still have teeth marks on my credit cards LOL I also bred a bunch of wild and domestic Discus.

Back then I bred Leopolidi, Henlii, Otorongos and had my tigers give a premature birth before I sold everything (well, all I really did was change tonnnes of water and feed them constantly, they bred themselves! ). At that time you could buy a wholesale wild caught Leopoldi for $55!! It cost more to feed one than it did simply to buy a new one, and breeding them was for curiosity, as it was actually more like financial suicide before the ban.

I just read the thread about BD's, interesting. Shall I tell you the real story of how the Black Diamond Leopoldi got its name?

[FABIEN]

Yes, it could be very interesant...BD history!
