I have a brackish tank set up, (1.010- 1.015) and I am looking for a stingray that can survive there, and hopefully a small one too. The tank has substrate bottom, cichlid stones, a few pieces of driftwood, and a FW Moray eel in it. Any advice would be great!
Brackish and Small?

My current tank is a 55 gallon, not very big. I am looking to get a new one, and I'm wanting to get a good tank for a smaller ray. The trick is that it needs to be honestly brackish, not a little brackish that should be salt. It's tank mates will be a FW Snowflake Moray Eel, a Royal pleco, and planning on archer fish and FW Lionfish, all of which are brackish species. But the ray will be the most picky so I'm trying to pick a species and a tank to satisfy its needs.
what size in inches i think he mean . rays like alot of floor space so no shorter the 48 inches and no narrower than 24 inches which is why your tank is a little small.
Don't get a ray unless you're planning to go 180+. Don't even get the ray until you actually GET the tank. Theres so many times where people plan to upgrade but when the time comes, the situation does not allow for it. As for the brackish, you'd have to take a look around for rays from indo/borneo, forgot exactly what they are called.
don't even bother. most 55's are only 13inch wide. why would you be wanting a ray that could not even lay flat in the tank
