    THIS is exactly why I came to you. I was a bit apprehensive at first and almost started with a Motoro (likely wild-caught), because of the price difference, but after watching a few dozen of your videos I realized I'd likely have a far better odds of having a positive experience just going straight to the MAN and just double the initial investment & be all the way on the safest side I could start out on--- I am VERY glad I did. (Especially when after his ride from Cali to Ohio & all that entailed, I acclimated him for about 2 hours (drip), and once inside his tank I offered him worms just to see---and he SMASHED them---popped a wheelie like a run-away drag car & RIGHT THEN I knew I'd made the right decision. My ray is AWESOME, growing like a champ and very social/acclimated here. ( I think he recognizes your voice when I'm watching your videos---I can see him watching ;) ) Thanks again for what you do Kevin, I for one am honored to get to be a part of this & look forward to one day perhaps buying a beautiful young female from you to breed with him. I'd also like to note that I watch all of your videos and pay specific attention to your albino Bosmani's build and I try to keep Stevie in the same shape...THAT ray (believe it or not, and I even used to own a Corvette) connected the dots as to why Chevy called their Corvette "Stingrays"---I swear I had never made the connection in all my 50 years until I saw that little Bosmani albino---then it clicked....That said, great job again Kevin & keep up the good work---you're doing great things.

    I can tell you from first hand experience the best way to buy a Stingray is to get it thought Kevin! I purchased a Stingray from him and it was a Great experience! Great communication, Answered all our questions, Made suggestions, He sent pictures, let us pick the one we wanted, He updated us on shipping. And in the end received a beautiful happy healthy & hungry Pearl Stingray ! I have purchased from local fish store in the past, But you are rolling the dice. You don't know where they came from or history of the fish. If you deal with Kevin you Will know everything about the ray.
    You can't go wrong with him!
    Can't say enough good about him! He is and will always be my "Go to Guy" For Stingrays!
    Thanks Kevin!

    Love it. How about another follow up with a explanation on all these high rays names. I find people are coming up with all sorts of names for slight variations, and I find it hard to distinguish why they are named that. Example thousand island, S.W etc etc

    hi good morning I'm new on your channel I have a question I am going to set up a new freshwater fish tank and I am so interested in having a stingray in it but my concern is I know stingray is grown to be large is there any species of stingrays that does not grow more than 5 to 8 in preferably in between if you could give me the name and if there's a photo of it I'd much appreciate it by the way I have subscribed to your channel and thumbs up to your videos explaining

    Normal hybrids are cheap, super hybrids and designer hybrids are worth more then any other kind almost. Also “new” kinds of rays which are mostly only possible only with the selective breeding
