Aquarium Advice Newbie
I was kept from owning stingrays because of hearing how hard they are to keep, I will not dispute that because in the 5 years i have had rays i have lost 2 and have had to spend alot of time and money treating the ones that got sick. The 2 motoro rays i have now have been doing very well as i keep them in there own 180 gal tank,they are eating as much as i choose to give them on a weekly basis with no problems and they prefer earthworms and fresh tilapia and a few times a month ghost shrimp. When thinking of keeping rays i would recommend a tank of at least 150 gallons with 2 - 300 watt covered heaters to protect them from getting burned as they can grow quickly and make sure to get your ray from a reputable vendor that is known for there quality and service, filtration is also a key factor and with rays canister filters are the only way to go i use a fluval FX5 and with proper chemicals and media my water stays crystal clear and the rays are active and healthy.
