Common name: Stingrays

The Dasyatidae family, commonly known as stingrays, is a diverse group of cartilaginous fish found in tropical to temperate marine environments and sometimes in freshwater. They are characterized by their flattened bodies and long, whip-like tails, which typically bear one or more venomous spines used for defense. Stingrays are bottom dwellers and play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling invertebrate populations. In the aquarium, they require large, sandy-bottomed tanks and expert care. They are sensitive to water quality and need a varied diet of meaty foods.
