Urotrygon Stingrays should be added to very large aquariums with wide open swim areas and a good filter system. Stingrays also require a fine sand bed as they may partially bury themselves in the sand, concealing themselves from predators. Stingrays may be sensitive to copper, do not treat aquarium with copper products. Provide Stingrays with a diet rich in meaty based foods. Urotrygon Stingray prefer cooler water temperatures. They are social among their own species. Ensure a tight fitting lid as Stingrays may jump.
