Cool. Thanks for the help. Here's what I've got after looking into it. She is a Potamotrygon reticulatus (judging from size and markings) which I guess is also know as an Oscellated Stingray. She is 3.5" disc diameter. So far, she seems pertty scared of people, though I've heard that they can be very affectionate and playful. I've only had her for a week, and she seems to be eating well (she really likes ghost shrimp, a treat that I learned about on this site).
I've petted her a couple times, and she dosen't seem to happy about the idea. I think I'll try again after she gets more used to her surroundings. She's never raised her stinger, so I guess she's not too bothered. Any tips on bringing her up right in this crazy world would be very appriciated! :-)
