- G'day Bodgies and Widgies, today I'll take you through everything you need to know in order to care for freshwater stingrays in the home aquarium. These are such an awesome, interesting and oddball pet that always blows people away when they see them. The benefit is, they are surprisingly easy to care for as long as all their conditions are met and ill let you know exactly what those are.
I also ended up getting some of my dream freshwater rays which I'll show you along with an update of my existing stingrays Pancake and Maple!

Very comprehensive and detail info on rays. Nice work Bodgie!!
Thank you Denver!
Actually cool fact!
Freshwater stingrays excrete pure ammonia not Urea!
Marine fish excrete Ammonia because of the high salt content and since freshwater stingrays are actually very recent evolution their urinary system functions like a marine fish!
So thats why the filter system is so important as they, like a marine fish put out raw ammonia constantly.
Check out some of the scientific research into their lineage and unique adaptations (Like the fact they are one of the only group of rays to CHEW?!)
Anyway! Flapjack (My Ray) says hi to yours!
Omg PURE AMMONIA! Yeah so that further confirms that heavy duty filtration is a must, probably more important than overall tank size. It's crazy how close they are to saltwater fish, i've been reading a lot more about these fish anatomically and its just so fascinating.
@@BodgieFromStraya crazy hey! Agree with the super effective filtration. Size is super important for the animal but the processing waste is paramount.
My curiosity peaked when I read an article on how they were closed in and became freshwater with the forming of the isthmus of Panama.
Crazy cool stuff. Great fish.
Great comprehensive guide there Bodgie. I reckon watching this makes me fully qualified to keep these beautiful animals, although I couldn't imagine myself explaining to the emergency department nurse how I came to be stung by my pet fish.
Hahaha I think you should do it mate! A motoro in your big tank would be totally stunning!
who's that little guy at 15:05
loved the stingray family introduction. they're all so yummy.
IF i ever start my fish collection and get a stingray I'll come back here hahahaha
awww hahaha! 15:05 is NEOOO!
You can’t eat stingray bum bum
Great video! I have a 48x48x30(300 gallon) tank with rainbow fish. Hoping to find a Mini Marble Motoro Stingray that stay under 13" one day. Just hoping my tank would be large enough for it long term
Oh that is awesome! based on the dimensions I'd say it would be okay long term actually.
That tank would look crazy though!
Great video mate! And thanks for the shout out!
I'm glad those pups went to a loving home ❤
Although seeing them nice and coloured up now makes me wish I kept one from that batch 😅
My absolute pleasure mate, thank you for breeding such stunning fish haha.
Even today I was looking at the tank, noticed the rays and went "damn, those are some stunning fish" hahaha, i'm jealous of myself lol.
Awesome Bodgie thanks.
My pleasure John!
