Can someone post a link on the care and requirements for a ray?

Thanks,

Most SA Stingrays are illegal in FL.

I've noticed they don't care to swim up the side much when they have enough area to swim. Most of them are wild juveniles that are being Quarantined. The tanks lack of depth makes for less water volume, therefor less concentration of medication($$).

You could hold alot of juveniles rays in a pool like this, I've done up to 10 at 7-8".. But even if you have a huge filtration system, you would need to do daily water changes. The volume of the pond I am guessing is around 150g, with water in it. This means your nitrates will climb real fast, and your ammonia could spike easily if you overfeed.
