Getting a freshwater stingray is a dream for many fishkeepers, but they're not a fish you should buy on impulse.
In this video I cover everything you need to know before bringing one home, including tank size, filtration, feeding, water quality, compatibility, common mistakes, and the ongoing costs of keeping these incredible fish.
Freshwater stingrays can become amazing display animals, but they require a level of care and commitment that isn't right for everyone. My goal is to help you decide whether a stingray is the right fish for you and give you the best chance of success if you decide to take the plunge.
