i keep my GH @ 10 and my KH @ 7 and my rays seam to do very well at that with the other fish i keep in the tank i need to keep the PH fairly low between PH 6-6.5 but they will be will be fine up to PH 8 the lower you keep the GH and KH the more chance you will have of a PH crash which in some cases will kill the rays |

i dont think a female motoro would be ready to breed until she gets to 14-16inch disk if you are starting off with small rays is normally best to get a much smaller male than the female as then he wont be ready to breed before her and rip her to bits trying |

for a ray to die so fast after purchase i would say you may have a amonia problem if the ray was very skinny and under fed when you 1st got them that could also have been the problem most freshly imported rays are in a bad way when they 1st arrive at LFS and its a race against time to get them feeding and back in good health |
