Their native intelligence, curiosity, and multi-layered personality makes them fascinating to everyone. To me, as a student of life sciences, they are a fascinating case of evolutionary biology.
What is the attraction to stingrays?

I am a big central / south american cichlid fan. I amazed at the personality that they have. If I wasn't concerned about them killing or harming the rays I would probably start shopping for one or two.

yeah that is why I don't like the cichlids, it seems with the best ones you always end up with just one! evening breeding them they are still a threat to each other and often the offspring are hard to unload.
Pancakes, I love pancakes. A fetish if you will. Plus rays can fit under some doors, play ultimate ray Frisbee with them. You loose if you catch the stinger side out.
Ok, really it's what Ashley said. They are just plain cool and fun and very rewarding.

i was gonna write the exact same thing !!! also add that most people don't even know u can keep stingrays as pets! when they find out you have one their like '' oh my god!! ''(mouth wide open) , acting like they don't believe u . it always puts a smile on my face to see people's reactions when i tell them i have 2 stingrays living in my house. some people however do find it weird.... i get that more often with Bichirs, i love both however!

I like the look on people face when i tell them I have 25!
rays are perfect pets. they don't hump your leg, crap on the carpet, whine, get fur all over the place, dig their claws into your really nice couch, mark their territory etc. The way they swim is cool and the patterns are beautiful. And they do each have their own personality.
