thanx for your reply. i am aware of it's chance of adapting, price, gravel requirements and not being able to have decorations etc.
however, the only thing i am concerned with is the size. i know a fully grown stingray will not fit, but how big is too big. i need an idea of how much room it is going to need in relation to it's size. also, how fast do they grow.
i really would like a stingray, and the 90g is definately the best i can do. so i am trying to find a way to keep one without a guilty conscience. if i could buy one at about 6", keep it for two years and then give it back to the LFS i'd be more than happy.
: Hi, these rays are very difficult to keep and you would need a much larger aquarium then a 90 , and the other thing is you wouldn`t need any decorations in the tank, for this beauty have no place to swim as it is in a 90, and i hope you know the blue spotted stingray draws a high price. and it would need a gravel which it can bury itself, sandy the better. Happy New Year`s ><{{{{"> Buddy
::i got a 90g, 4'x2'x18" tank... im looking at get a blue spotted stingray. if u dont think that my tank is big enough for a fully grown stingray.... how big do u think i should let it get before i upgrade the tank or sell him back to the LFS?
::Also, do you know how fast they grow. lets say i bought one at about 6" how long till it grows to 12"
