Purchasing New Stingray.

Any non agressive tankmates that wont nip at them. When they are buried their eyes can look like snails and some cichlids will go after them. You can do clown loaches and catfish and upper level fish like aro's and stuff. Keep away from plecos though cause that is trial and error and it can work and it might not.
Sand color depends on the ray you are getting. I have seen that black sand turns some rays really dark like motoros for example and they look really bad. So I use a light sand for them. Where as if you are getting black ray a black sand would work, cause I hear people saying that they prefer that better for them. But really the color you want is all up to you. Your the one who has to look at it every day.

Thankyou for your quick reply.
It's the motoro ray that i have ordered so light sand it is!!
All my tanks have a black backing on them so really what i wanted to do was to make the stingray tank black... black backing and sand!
Not that it makes that much difference! I want the Ray to be fit and as vibrant as it should be... i don't want the sand to be the cause of it looking drab.
What is the recommended depth of sand for the ray?
I'll decide what tankmates the ray will have in the near future. Any one with anymore recommendations please let me know. I really want to get this right.
I go and see the ray once a week and hand feed it so i really don't want to 'P' it off... If ya know what i mean!!!!!
Thanks again!

no matter how much sand you put in the ray will always leave a bare bit of glass some were in the tank the anount of sand you have just deturmins how big the hump of sand in the middle of the tank will be
shrimp works good but right now mine wont eat it because i just got them and the lfs i got mine from are eatting chopped earth worms.
be sure to never feed it feeder goldfish. it may be a cool show but there is no nutritional value in goldfish and also they carry thiaminase which counter acts against thiamin which is what makes them grow. thiaminase will slow their growth because its counter acts against the thiamin which is what you want for the fish to grow.
black worms,blood worms,earth worms,shrimp,krill, chopped fish fillets.
