Keeping Teacup Ray in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 250 gallons (946 liters) for a single adult, larger for multiple or breeding pairs.
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, peaceful, and robust fish that occupy the upper water column and cannot be preyed upon. Avoid small fish or bottom dwellers.
• Special requirements: Requires a large footprint tank with a fine sand substrate to allow for natural burying behavior. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their high bioload. Provide ample open swimming space and some smooth, non-abrasive decor. Water quality must be pristine, with regular large water changes.
