This
video shows a Freshwater Spotted
Sting Ray. The underside of this Stingray
is white, and its backside is brown
with orange spots that are each ringed
with darker brown.
Here
is another view of a Fresh Water
Spotted Sting Ray that's finding a good
spot to settle on the bottom.
This
Freshwater Sting Ray is searching for
bits of food on the bottom of the aquarium.
Scientific
Name: Potamotrygon motoro.
Comments
Freshwater
Stingray species are illegal to own or sell in the
state of California and most other states. So we
have never kept or sold any Sting Rays. It was my
intention to discuss on this web site only those
fish species that I had kept and knew about from
my first hand experiences. But many folks are interested
in Sting Rays, so I've gathered some information
on this page.
Click
here to listen to a Special
Pet Fish Show hosted by The Bailey Brothers,
Tom and Nevin, about Freshwater Stingrays.
Spotted
Sting Rays, like the one shown just below, are
hardy, active, and easy to keep in the proper aquarium.
But they have a poisonous stinger on their tails,
and there is a substantial probability that they
could become established and reproduce in our native
water. So most states in the United States ban them.
Here's
a rear end
view of a Spotted Sting Ray, where you
can see its back covered with orange
spots that are ringed in brown. Spotted
Sting Rays are livebearers.
Appropriate
Home An aquarium
with at least 50 gallons of water, an
exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel, and
a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel. The water temperature should be between
75 and 80 degrees F. Click
here for more about warm water aquariums. Click
here for more about cool water aquariums.

Recommended Diet
Sting Rays will eat Ghost Shrimp and larger shrimp
sold in supermarkets for human consumption. You
should remove the shrimps shells. Sting Rays also
eat angleworms and pieces of fish. Click
here for more about feeding fish.
Compatibility
Since we
have not kept Sting Rays in our aquariums, we don't
feel qualified to discuss compatibility. there is
more information about keeping Sting Rays with Arowanas
and Clown Loaches at the first link list below.
Click
here to read more about several other groups
of compatible fish.
Size
and Life Span
Freshwater Spotted Stingrays can grow to be 18".
Their life span is unknown to us.
Do you sell Polka Dot Sting
Rays and if you do, what
are the chances of getting
a male and female, 3 to
4 in diameter.

Hello Paul. Our facility is in San Diego, California,
and it is illegal to import, to own, or to sell
Sting Rays in California. So we don't have any Sting
Rays in our facility to sell you.
This page contains
some information about Sting Rays and is included
in this web site for your entertainment, even though
we cannot import and sell Sting Rays.
I see you are in
Canada. We cannot ship to Canada, and we do not
foresee shipping to Canada in the future. Click
here to
read where in the U.S. we do ship.
If our answers to your questions disappoint you,
we apologize.
