Description
One of the easiest Rays to adjust to captivity, the California Stingray will quickly win your heart with its ability to learn to beg for food. Can be tamed to accept food right from your hands and is often a petting pool favorite. Rays should never be exposed to copper-based medications as this will cause them to become ill. Additionally, Rays need plenty of open sandy areas free of sharp objects in which to hide. Water quality must be kept up. Watch for any tail damage on Rays due to aggressive tankmates. Many puffers and some eels will tend to pick on the ribbon-like tail. The tail will re-grow with time.
