admirejb Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 well Id say start off by not letting them sting you in the heart. I think somebody died from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjohn Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Minimum recommend pond/tank size for a Cortez Stingray: about 180 gallons or 6' long x 2' wide x 2' deep for a single Cortez ray. For a small breeding group of 2-3 adults at least 360 gallons or 8’ long x 3’ wide x 2’ deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 id read that they needed at least 180 but i know that sometimes thats not the case for instance live aquaria says a blue tang can be kept in a 70 gallon tank. I just wanted to see if anyone has kept one of their own. I think that im going to upgrade to a 180 here pretty soon, and see how it goes. i cant wait!

JamesL Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I would image surface area is of more importance than the actually gallonage. Since rays are bottom dwellers, they would like lots of sand area to move around on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I agree with James, wider is better for rays. I think wider is better in general regarding aquariums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
