Question about FW stingrays...

[kittyhazelton]

I have room for another tank in my house, and I'm wondering...

Is there a species of stingray (That isn't mad expensive) that could live comfortably for most of it's life in a 75-125 gallon tank?
If so, how hard to keep is it, where can I get one, what kind of care requirements would it need.
Stingrays intrigue me, and I wanna know a bit more about em.
I know little to none about keeping stingrays, so I'm just asking out of curiosity, so please be nice.

Take a look around the forum. This question comes up on nearly a daily basis. The short answer is 'No'...no ray can be comfortably maintained for life in less than a 6ft x 30" tank.

alrighty then. guess I'll have to hold off until I get a bigger place.

nice to hear you are not an "all upgrade later" type of keeper since people hardly ever do IMO

key to ray keeping is research!

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liter
ft= feet
