Keeping Black Diamond Stingray in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 750 gallons (2839 liters) for a single adult, larger for multiple or breeding pairs
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust, and peaceful to semi-aggressive fish that occupy the upper water column and are not prone to fin-nipping. Avoid small or aggressive bottom-dwellers.
• Special requirements: Requires a very large tank with a soft sand substrate to prevent injury to the disc and barbels. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their high bioload. Provide ample open swimming space and some smooth, flat rocks or driftwood for enrichment. Water quality must be pristine with regular large water changes. Sensitive to nitrates and ammonia. Requires a varied diet of high-quality meaty foods.
