This stingray is a visual highlight in my 200-gallon tank. The blue spots and masked pattern are truly unique. I’ve had it for six months and it remains active and curious. I’m an expert aquarist and this species fits perfectly in my setup. Just make sure the tank is large enough and avoid keeping it with small fish.

The initial setup was challenging due to its aggressive nature. After adjusting tank layout and adding hiding spots, it settled in well. The movement is impressive and adds drama to the tank. I’d recommend it only for experienced hobbyists.

I bought this for my advanced aquarium. The coloration is stunning and it has become a centerpiece. It doesn’t eat much and stays mostly in the lower area. I’ve monitored its behavior closely and it seems healthy.
