Im a piranha keeper and am looking at trying out rays. I want to know if a single ray could be kept in a standard 75 for a yr or so? Im just going to try it out before i go to college and see how it was. I was thinking maybe i could find a small one about the time college rolled around i could rehome him/her. Any advice? If you all say this is a bad idea im fine and i can continue piranha keeping. Thanks for your help. Also my fliltration is an emperror 400 and an eheim 2217 cannister

I can't believe this was even an issue! The answer was as simple as this... NO YOU CAN'T KEEP A STINGRAY(S) IN A 75 GALLON TANK!! Use it to house a small Piranha. END OF DISCUSSION.

obviously he wont listen to us, so lets just sit back and wait until he gets a ray, and kills it, bc he wont listen...

this is pretty sad, why do peeps even want to invest into something they are going to kill? Yeah dude, just wait and get a bigger tank, stop being impatient, be smart! Would you want someone to cram you into a small cage if your 6 ft tall? Pretty stupid and selfish on your part and careless.

The title to this posting should read "NO, YOU MAY NOT HAVE A RAY"!

I would disagree here.... I have a female retic that is over 14 inch disk then add tail and you have a very big ray. She is only 3. I got her at 4 inches and she was nearing 10 by the end of my first year with her. I thought it was unfair for me to have her in a 125 and upgraded to my now current 500 gallon. I am sorry you have found this forum to be unfriendly, I don't think they have been unfriendly honestly it is just frustrating for somebody to be ignoring the great advice that they are giving after they asked in the first place. When something says a "minimum" that means the least ideal situation you could be in. Would you like to live in the "minimum" square footage that a human needs? Because I believe it is something like 6x8 as in a prison cell. So I say if you are ok with putting a ray in a 75....any ray even a retic you should have to place yourself in a 6x8 cell first then if you still think that that is fair go right on ahead and get yourself a ray. I believe all of us on here in the ray forum love our animals more than alot of other people with their fish. I mean a ray isn't like a piranha and maybe I am biased so be it. Maybe you should stick with your piranha's and your piranha forum if we are all so "unfriendly"

This is the best reply ever. Awesome Nicole! I replied to this as well. Very Sad this individual is more concerned about his feelings than a living creature who has no say in what environment they may be put in.

Hopefully this guy/gal didn't get this ray and took everyone's advice.
