Blue Spot Sting Ray Africa (Expert)

Quick Stats

Description

The Blue Spot Sting Ray, native to the waters around Africa, is a beautiful yet challenging species for advanced aquarists. With its distinctive light brown body covered in vibrant blue spots, this stingray makes a visually striking addition to large aquariums. However, its expert care requirements and large tank size make it suitable only for dedicated enthusiasts with ample space and experience.

This stingray prefers a fine sandy substrate to prevent injury to its delicate underside and tail. As a carnivore, it thrives on a diet of shrimp, small fish, and other meaty marine foods. Due to its specific requirements and semi-aggressive temperament, the Blue Spot Sting Ray is not reef-safe and should be housed in a species-specific setup or with large, robust fish.
