Stingray ID and Care?

[Miks786]

Hey guys a mate of mine is letting go of his Stingray and i am planning on taking..

He says its a Motoro ray but could anyone help ID?
What would be the best care for it?

It eats pellets, shrimp,hake etc..

TIA

That's a real beauty! Definitely some motoro blood, but possibly some other genetics as well. Best care is big tank (300+ gallons), big filtration (k1), and lots of food (tilapia and shrimp). Keep temps around 80-82, and lots of big water changes.

I have a 350 gallon...With a emperor snakehead,jaguar cichlid,peacock bass,wallago catfish, 2 silver arowanas and a endlecheri but i wanted to keep the ray in my 5 foot tank for now will that be okay? It was a 1600 Dolphin canister filter running with a bottle filter on the inside and i do water changes every second day on it

How big is the ray?

Maybe 20cm +- in diameter

Should be good for now

Yeah as long as you keep water ultra clean
You should be ok.
I find rays prefer several smaller meals a day instead of one bigger one, a temp of around 80 is good.

Foods: high protein pellets, crayfish, shrimp,mussels,snails,with some fish is good

I have got some baby peacock bass in the tank about 3 inch each...Temp is at 84-86 is that too hot for the ray?

Probably be ok, as long as the ray isn't big enough to eat the p.b

Wouldn't he have to catch them 1st? Cause P.Bass are super fast?
