Freshwater Stingray is a stingray that lives in its freshwater habitat.
PetPonder provides some interesting facts about giant freshwater stingray fish and explains what requirements must be met if these animals are to be raised as pets.
The giant freshwater stingray is a big fish.
What we mean is huge.
You can easily sleep on its fins;
It's not a good idea, but you can't think so.
A very interesting fact about this fish is how its name came from.
The species is said to have been discovered in 1852 by Peter brick.
He is a fish scientist, studying fish.
His research is based on a young stingray with a fin length of 12 inch.
He named the species polyannis.
However, the study has never become very popular.
In 1990, Tyson Roberts and Supap Monkolprasit conducted another study and published it. . . .
It is one of the largest fish in the world.
PetPonder provides some more interesting facts below.
This is a very large fish, as mentioned earlier.
Its tail can be 15 inch (40 cm) long and its fins can be 6 long.
2 feet wide (2 m) and 16 feet long (5 m ).
The long tail is toxic and has the ability to penetrate human skin and bones!
It has two small eyes on the top, separated from each other.
Its mouth is small and slightly
Arched, small and round teeth.
It has five sets of fins on it.
The color of this fish is gray.
The fins are brown and white below.
The weight of such a huge size cannot be far behind.
Some of the largest sample weights captured are between 1,100 and 1,300 pounds.
In the wild, giant freshwater stingray fish inhabit freshwater areas such as rivers and estuary.
However, since this fish is not very easy to discover, capture and study, there is not much to know about its habitat.
It prefers places with Sandy or sandy bottoms as it likes to hide under this layer and wait for the next meal.
It can breathe through a special spiral on the fin.
Geographically, the fish is found in Borneo, New Guinea, Thailand and northern Australia.
The giant freshwater stingray is a carnivore.
Its main foods include crabs, squid, shellfish, fish, conch, shrimp and shrimp.
The fish can detect the electric fields of nearby animals, thus helping it to catch prey more easily.
The giant freshwater stingray has been reducing its population for years.
The loss of habitat is the most important reason.
As part of sport fishing, it is also hunted or sometimes caught by fishing nets laid by fishermen.
However, it is not a real offensive animal and does not know that it will attack humans.
The pollution of the river and the harvest has also exacerbated its survival difficulties.
Therefore, the IUCN has given it "endangered" status worldwide and "extremely endangered" status in Thailand.
Some freshwater stingray fish can be kept as pets.
However, keep in mind that these fish need more care than your regular pet fish, and some important aspects must be considered before you go home.
These important aspects are listed below.
When you buy a tank for your Ray, first consider the full size it will reachgrown fish.
At least 100 gallons per Ray.
Also, make sure the tank is wide enough to allow your light to swim comfortably inside.
Ideally, it must be twice the width of the Ray fin.
If you have a large pond or pool in your house, then this may also be the case and some modifications need to be made such as filters and heaters.
Keep in mind that this fish is a natural excavator and its long fins are vulnerable.
So, first of all, avoid the natural plants in the water tank, because your pet will root them up.
The road to go is decorated in plastic.
Secondly, the overall appearance of the stingray fish tank must be simple, as the fish is vulnerable to any sharp object in the tank.
Pet stingray is also known to sit on tank heaters.
Therefore, in order to prevent skin burns, plastic covers are prepared for the heater from the pet shop.
As mentioned before, Stingray likes to hide under the sand on the bottom of the sea and wait for the fish to swim so that it can become prey.
For your tank, avoid any sharp stones on the base.
If you have time to check the sand regularly so that it doesn't clog any tank equipment, you can use the sand.
Otherwise, you can use round, smooth pebbles or stones.
Tanks can also do without the base plate, but it will go against the nature of your pet and your pet may not be too cool.
It is very important to maintain the pH, temperature and ammonia level of the water tank.
If any of these levels have serious fluctuations, this can be harmful to the health of your light.
The recommended pH value of the tank must be between 6 and 7, while the temperature must be between 78 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, or between 25 and 27 degrees Fahrenheit
If you have a larger tank, there is little chance of any change that will adversely affect your pet.
So it's always better for a bigger tank.
In addition, attention should be paid to cleaning the water tank on a regular basis, as it is known that Stingray will produce a large amount of waste.
Scoop up these waste and any uneaten food every once in a while and replace the water when you feel it is necessary.
Foods like shrimp and bugs are suitable for this fish.
You can also start feeding frozen food to it gradually.
Because it is essentially a carnivore, such as small fish, shrimp, Polak and so on. , are suitable.
Stingray is not very social in nature.
Two men cannot live in peace in the same tank.
Therefore, it is better to put a male with some women.
Other fish suitable for putting in a fish tank with stingray are Oscar and Siam fish.
The nature of these species is calm and meek and therefore good tankmates.
Freshwater Stingray is a fascinating animal.
Their unique appearance has irresistible charm and mystery.
Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and fishing, the number of some freshwater stingray fish is declining.
Therefore, efforts must be made to save these beautiful animals from extinction.
