[miniscientist]

i'm planning on purchasing a guyana stingray from my lfs, but when i tried to look up info online i could find nothing concerning this species. does anyone have any information? water temperature, what to feed, what their largest size will be, etc? any info is appreciated!

I love humerosas. I had 2 way back when I was a new ray keeper. They are hardy and mellow.

I know this is an old thread, but I've recently found these for sale near me. What size do they max out at? Is there a profile for them posted in the sticky section?

Thanks,

Does Green Tree have them?

They get big, motoro size, maybe a little smaller. They are P. humerosa or P. orbygini usually.

No, I don't think anyone nearby has them currently in stock, but my guy at feeders said he can order one. I just didn't know what the heck kind of stingray it would be

It would be a teacup stingray from Kentukiana Pet suppy. They are there source for that kinda thing

 

[Conner]

Well, they listed both teacup and guyana stingray on the stocklist, so I figure they'd be two different species.
