Blue Spotted Stingray Taeniura Lymma
The Blue Spotted Stingray, Taeniura lymma, is a colorful and distinctive stingray found primarily in the Indo-Pacific region. It has a large, oval-shaped disc with numerous bright blue spots and blue stripes along its tail. This bottom-dwelling ray prefers shallow coral reef and sandy environments, where it feeds on mollusks, crustaceans, and other small invertebrates.Blue Spotted Stingrays are generally peaceful but can be aggressive if threatened, using their venomous tail spines as a defense mechanism. They are not recommended for beginner aquarists, as they require specific water parameters and a large, well-established tank setup to thrive in captivity. A minimum tank size of 300 gallons is suggested, with pristine water quality, moderate current, and a sandy substrate. They are best kept with other peaceful, non-aggressive tank mates.Due to their sensitivity to water conditions and specialized feeding requirements, Blue Spotted Stingrays have a relatively short lifespan in home aquariums compared to their natural habitat. Proper research and preparation is essential before considering adding one to your marine setup
