Stingray Tank Size

[schmidt1216]

he guys im looking into making a very large aquarium in the future to get a freshwater sting to inhabit it im just not sure on the size I was wondering if 6*3*2
is big enough {270 gallon L*W*H in feet] this will be for a teacup stingray most likely or the one that's black with white spots sorry I don't know its name any advice is appreciated.

Think the foot print is paramount here. Something like 8×4×1.5 would be pretty ok I'd think. Not really in the know with rays though, just basing off what I've seen and read. The Boston aquarium ' s ray setup is only like a foot deep.

From memory I also had 8ft in mind but that was just from a few other threads some time ago. Could be out.

You will need a much wider tank for a leopoldi, they grow to a beastly size. A store near me has a breeding pair and the female has a more than 2' disc.
