Freshwater Stringray Care

[Clownfishlover]

Does anyone have experience with freshwater rays.

No personally experience but they require a very large tank. A 6x2 footprint is the minimum tank size for one.

The tank size wouldn't be an issue because it would be going in a large indoor pond

It's going to be a while I'm grounded from my fish so but eventually it will be build.

I have been keeping rays for over 20 years

They are very easy to care for as long as you have the tank space ask what you want

That wouldn't have been fresh water rays you petted at the zoo it would have been salt water

Grounded from fish? I would die!!
What happens when your grounded? Do you still get your water changes/feedings in?

I have no experience with them but i did some research on it once for my 55g south american tank and found one called a teacup which gets to 14in max, they need atleast a 75g tank and will do fine in it

Oh my god that would kill me I'd be so sad!

But the tank is in my room so... Good luck grounding me from it lol.
You know you're addicted to fish when you don't even go on Facebook you spend all of your time on this website instead. Hahaha!

You needed to do more reading

Just because they are called teacup doesn't mean they stay small

Teacup just means small unknown rays it could be any unknown brown ray but they are normally reticulatua

You say they only get to 14" well that's disk size you can add another 14" on top for the tail as they have the longest tail in nearly all FW rays

You also say 14" disk like its small that's the size of a standard car wheel without a tire that's without the tail

Go out side get a car hub cap and hold it near a 75g you have no chance

Even the smallest ray which is scobina needs a 6x2x2 min and may need a upgrade later in life
