What's the smallest tank a ray can be kept in?

[Nabbig2]

Like maybe a motoro, what could they be kept in? Like maybe a 230 or something? I don't know.

Also, this is a stingray forum. Aren't some rays we keep not stingrays?

Do you mean for life? or as growout tanks?

No I can't think of any freshwater rays that don't have a sting.

Oh. Well, I'm talking about for life.

motoro would need a 3' wide tank atleast so 8'x3'x¿ would be minimun retics and scobina could probally do a 180 but a 300 96x30x25 would be ideal

I've seen some 24" male motoros that would make this statement not true. Most motoros will outgrow a 2' wide tank.

I guess some people have Mature Male Motoros under an 18" disk.....???

I didnt think that was that common....

yeah... maybe if they weren't allowed to turn around. This isn't true. 3 wide minimum IMO
