Stingray for Sale

The Fish Collection's freshwater stingray collection features some of the most spectacular and sought-after specimens in the aquarium trade. The genus Potamotrygon — native to the river systems of South America — produces freshwater rays of breathtaking beauty: the obsidian-black body of the Black Diamond Stingray studded with brilliant white spots, the honeycomb patterning of the Motoro, the dramatic contrast of the Pearl Stingray, and the ultra-rare Leopoldi hybrid crosses that command premium prices among collectors worldwide. These are not casual pets — they are living works of art that transform any large aquarium into a world-class display. Stingray keeping demands serious commitment. These bottom-dwelling elasmobranchs require a minimum of 180 gallons for a single juvenile, with adults of most species eventually needing 300 to 500 gallons or more. Tank footprint matters more than height — a wide, shallow tank with a fine sand substrate is ideal. Stingrays are messy eaters that produce significant bioload, requiring robust filtration and frequent water changes to maintain the pristine, low-nitrate conditions they demand. They feed on a diet of earthworms, shrimp, silversides, and quality pellets, and they are surprisingly interactive — many keepers report that their rays learn to recognize them and beg for food at the surface. Every stingray in our inventory is quarantined for a minimum of twenty-one days upon arrival. During quarantine we treat prophylactically for internal and external parasites, monitor for the bacterial infections that commonly affect wild-caught rays, and verify that each specimen is feeding aggressively on captive-appropriate foods. Stingrays are shipped in oversized, reinforced bags with ample oxygenated water inside rigid, insulated containers to prevent barb punctures. Temperature packs are calibrated for the transit route and current weather. Our 100% live arrival guarantee covers every stingray we sell — The Fish Collection is the trusted source for collectors who demand verified-healthy rays delivered safely to their door.
