Its definitely not a beginners ray, but it's easy to keep if you have kept Athena ray and Apple rays before.

within the family potamotrygon, which covers most of the freshwater stingrays from south america, tigers/flowers are one of the more fragile ones. also, they reach bigger sizes.

however, like that LG said above, china rays come to my mind as one of the toughest when compared outside the potamotrygon family.

also, some cheaper rays from thailand or so do appear in our lfs from time to time. those are pretty hard to maintain too, and always die off within a few months.

Depending on many factors, most important must see ray eating b4 buying, even better if it's mp-trained...best get from fellow hobbyists which hv kept for sometimes to ensure rays already used to local HDB water

in any case if u like to take chance, try Seaview(Jln Kayu Farmway 1) or QianHu(CCK)...think they hv some stock presently

happy raying

Thanks Bro, in fact saw @ Seaview, tempted to buy. Better as Sifus here before comitting. Funny thing is how come they can openly sell imported rays? I thought it's banned.
