I have a 210 gallon tank with a 75 gallon tank underneath as the filter with 6-5gallon buckets of bio balls in it for filtration that I made. I keep the tank at 80-82 degrees. I use red flint #20 gravel. For those that don't know its fine gravel. For those that do is it good to use for breeding? I am intersted in breeding motoros. All the help and advice I can get like, is the tank good enough how many can I have, etc,etc.
Lots of Questions for breeding Stingray

Josh,
Tank is ok for now, but yu will need to upgrade eventually.
If yu want a good chance of breeding, at least 36" width, like 8x3x2.
Bump your temp up too, 86 is the magic #.

Mine breed at 78 degress fahrenheit. I never change the temperature. They first bred in my 120 5feet long by 18 inches wide. I did upgrade my tank and now have them in a 240 with a 75 sump using Matala Filtration Media, google it, it works really great. My last batch were born on April 24th, I got 6 this batch. It's really cool to see how stingrays can breed in so many different conditions. I have motoro's. 
I might have to try raising the temp a few degrees and see if I get a bigger litter like TFDFish that would be really cool. Congrats on the babies TFDFish

Congrats on the babies TFDFish I want to try and breed motoros, but I doubt its going to work for me because in there growout they will be housed with a black arowana and in there final tank they will also have two silver arowanas, so I might possibly just get one, I would like to get two of them as I would have enough room in a 375 gallon tank, but if they bred I dont want the pups to be harassed.
Im not going to breed motoros anymore, Im going to TRY and breed histrix, Im going to be working at an LFS this summer so I'll probably put them into one of the large growout tanks in the back then into the display pond that has koi in it at the moment.
