Ray

The Ray, is a flat brown fish found in the ocean. The fish is quite large, and it has a huge shadow. It is a quite expensive fish, selling for 3,000 Bells. The ACCF caption reads: "Freshwater types of these relatives of sharks are popular pets." When placed in the museum, like all other salt-water fish, except for the small ones, appears in the very back tank. There have been rumors it is attracted to coconut trees.

Donating to the Museum
Like all fish in the series, the ray can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, who will give a small talk about it. It can be found in the back oceanic tank, with other ocean/sea fish.

In City Folk
Blathers has this to say about the ray when donated:

"Many theorize that rays are distant relatives to the sharks... But unlike their fearsome theoretical cousins, rays, with their little grins, are simply adorable, wot wot!"
