I've been advised against a blue spot but some of the experts here, they do really poorly in captivity from everyone I've heard unfortunately. So I'll be sticking to California and Cortez! My one ray is doing awesome (outside of eating 2 clowns, a engineer goby, diamond goby, and royal Gramma all from my other tank... Didn't think he could even fit them in his mouth but he got all of them in a day)Update? Any potential in getting a blue spot?
what about shovelnose or thornback guitarfish? California and cortez are gloriousI've been advised against a blue spot but some of the experts here, they do really poorly in captivity from everyone I've heard unfortunately.

Honestly had never seen those! They look rad but pushing the bounds on size, 30 inches is pretty big in a 9ft tank. They might work but it'd be a little tight and i like to err on the side of extra room rather than too little. This tank was about as big as i could fit in my house but maybe some day i'll get a huge one in the thousands of gallonswhat about shovelnose or thornback guitarfish?

always a good mindset to have hats off to youHonestly had never seen those! They look rad but pushing the bounds on size, 30 inches is pretty big in a 9ft tank.

California round ray, why?Under what name was that ray sold to you as?
Those are all cool suggestions, thanks! I'll research them a big more. Obviously size and hardiness is a big factor in the home aquarium. I want things that will thrive and I hate keeping fish that are hard to keep alive since I feel terrible when they die. As far as sharks epaulettes are an option but also pushing size, my preference would be coral cat sharks or some in the same catsharks familyAlso, have you considered adding these?
Atlantic stingray (Hypanus sabinus) https://gulfspecimen.org/specimen/fish/sharks-and-rays/
Lesser electric ray (Narcine bancroftii or Narcine brasiliensis) https://gulfspecimen.org/specimen/fish/sharks-and-rays/
Yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) https://www.sharksupply.com/availab_ility.htm
Chilean round ray (Urotrygon chilensis)
Epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)
It might be hard to get the electric ray feeding.
