Hey everyone

Does anyone know,what is the smallest type of freshwater Ray you can get for an aquarium, and what size tank it needs and can you house an Oscar with it.

I have never kept these fish before. However, this website might give you a few tips. I think that keeping them with Oscars is not recommended

Interesting and informative site:

Stingrays are typically quiet fish and prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible, only using their spines for self-protection, so avoid purchasing any aggressive or territorial species as companions for your ray.


That f***ks that idea then.

The ones I have seen for sale at my local aquarium shop are bloody expensive, £185 for a small one.
