[biboybaka]

i just watch a natgeo wild docu about mekong fishes and discovered the mekong giant stingray. any info on this? i dont see it on the profile list? i really like this monster. anyone has kept this before? are they extremely expensive and rare? i find motoros and other rays to be too fancy but this one is a real monster nathing fancy about it.

Theres a reason why its called GIANT. Do you REALLY think you can keep a ray thats a couple times your size?

Come on guys, lets answer the questions, not talk about how much space he needs.(Wasn't one of the questions in the first place...)

I think the Mekong ray might just be endangered due to over fishing, I'm not sure . . . I've seen several documentaries on the mekong river species and I thought I heard that they were being over fished.

They are indeed endangered from what I have read. Which, I would assume, making it illegal for just a regular hobbyist to keep in captivity.
