Blue Poka dot Stingray

[hexcolor reef]

If ever owned or had a chance to what’s your adobe to anyone looking to house a stingray?

I’m looking to pick one up tomorrow to house in my lagoon tank. Beautiful creatures but would hate for me to make a mistake as they are not your average salt water fish

What's the size of the tank you're planning to add it to?

I have 250g currently. The stingray is about 24” long

I haven’t researched max size yet maybe I should worry about growth rate first

Why not get a couple smaller ones to start out?

They only have larger ones available, I wish they had smaller ones I would buy multiple and worry less

If they're already 24" I'd be concerned that they're already way too large (probably adults) for a 250-gallon. More than the size of the tank is the width (24"-36") and length (72"-84"), and the recommendation is 300-gallons (minimum) for adults.
