Florida Freshwater Stingray?

[crister13]

On petsolutions.com they have a florida freshwater stingray. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience keeping these guys and what the care is for them. It says that they only get to a disk sizze of 14" but i'm not sure if thats right. Any info will help.

THANKS!!!

From everything I have read about this ray it really is not a freshwater ray, it comes into fresh water to breed but primarily stays in salt water. This type of ray if kept in fresh water produces a HUGE amount of urea and would require an even bigger tank and filtration than a larger full fresh water specimen. I could be wrong on this and would like to hear from some other more advanced ray keepers.

they are atlantic rays if i'm correct, and they are not freshwater. they require brackish or saltwater tank setups.
