Teacups are also the most sensitive and very hard to get feeding

Teacups are the cheapest at about $60 for £50 but they are all wild caught and very hard to get feeding

Teacups are where most new comes to rays go wrong they buy them at a very small size 3-4" disk which is only a few weeks old and they die so they think rays are hard to keep

The best starter ray is a motoro they are very hardly and you can get captive bred for about £90-$100 but the problem is the get the biggest

A small motoro in a 6x2x2 tank will out grow that tank in under 1 year

As for food a captive bred will eat frozen prawn or even pellets
 
Does anyone know what water params the black diamond rays need?

I have 2 black diamonds and I would advice you to start with them as they cost over $2000 a pair

Rays can live in a wide range ph from 6-8

They can also tolerate high nitrate of 200ppm

They can't handle ammonia or nitrie

They can't handle and meds with cooper in so its a good idea to use a uvs
 
Long term a motoro needs a 8x4


Marble motoro are nice and stay a bit smaller males also stay smaller of any type of rays

Min tank size for a few years would be 8x3
 
Hit my brother with a fowl because he told me they were just fish and I didn't need to spend that much time caring for them:/
 
Good luck with the research of your stingray! Glad to see you researching and not just going to the lfs and buying a stingray and sticking it into a 20 gallon aquarium like some people would do.
 
Lol I hope..... You'd think football players would have enough sense knocked into them but apparently not!
