What kind of stingrauùys to start?

[Terrorblade90]

Hello, I would introduce a stingray in my 576 litres, but there is some problems:
1)I have a Panaque in the tank
2) the tank area is 120x60 cm, but the most part of the bottom is occuped by bogwoods and rocks.
3)rays cost too, TOO much! (at least, tehu cost too much in Italy-from 135 €!)
thanks

Yeah, I thinked, but I'v seen on Aqualog that they are (maybe) too larger-and they REALLY cost too much here (from 240 &#8364!

none if your tank is taken up with bog wood etc, they need lots of surface area

tank is basically a 120 gallon 4'x2' footprint.... it would only be a temporary tank for a short period.... i would skip the ray if i was you.... BTW Welcome to Mfk

yea your tank is pretty small for the majority of rays, they normally get around 24" disk... and then add tail length

ReallY? So... I cannot keep rays in my tank?!What kind of tank do you have, a swimming pool?! Sorry, but...
So, in my place there is the disponibility of this rays:
Potamotrygon reticulata
Potamotrygon leopoldi
potamotrygon reticulata RO87
Potamotrygon motoro
Potamotrygon hystrix
Potamotrygon sp. aff. motoro.
So..omit the price, cannot I keep not even one of these fishes?

Sorry I forgot that I can move bogwoods, so I can obtain a approximatly 60x40 free-swimming area...and, if I have understand, rays love explore rock,s and wood's substrates...

maybe a retic .But keep a eye on the panaque as it might take a liking to the rays slime coat

The reticulata or the RO?
