common stingray

[doviiman]

That may have been Atlantic Freshwater Stingrays...

Okay so I assume I can have them in Florida then? Becaue I know of one for sale at 5inches. Who fast do they grow, and being totally green to ray, Is there any danger to rasing these rays, ie biting if you try ans handle them or stinging barbs etc.

There is no danger. If you want a ray, get a Potamotrygon reticulatus.

Dovii.... read up on Altantic rays in the sticky that was just posted..... Definetly not a good starter ray and probobly not a good one to have at all in considering the housing requirements..... The easiest way to figure out what will work in your tank is to figure out what will work with your Armatus. That is not only the centerpiece but also the deciding factor of what will and will NOT work. Really sux that you can't have rays....as they are the best tankmates for Armatus..... And don't let other people around here slow you down...the only way to learn is to ask....It's not your fault some people around here choose to be unhelpful and rude......Don't let that bother ya cause there's plenty here willing to actually HELP.
