Freshwater Albino Pearl Stingray Potamotrygon Jabuti 20cm

Overview: The Freshwater Albino Pearl Stingray, scientifically known as Potamotrygon Jabuti, is a rare and captivating species cherished by aquarists worldwide. Known for its unique coloration and elegant swimming style, this albino variant adds a touch of grace to any freshwater aquarium. It requires a spacious tank to accommodate its size and active swimming habits.

Origin: Native to the river basins of South America, particularly in the Amazon River system, the Potamotrygon Jabuti thrives in freshwater environments. Their natural habitat consists of sandy or muddy bottoms where they blend in seamlessly, thanks to their distinctive patterns and coloration.

Feeding: A carnivorous species, the Freshwater Albino Pearl Stingray prefers a diet rich in meaty foods. This includes live and frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small fish. A varied diet is crucial for maintaining their health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates: When selecting tank mates, it’s essential to choose peaceful, similarly sized fish that inhabit different water layers. Avoid small fish that could be mistaken for prey. Compatible tank mates include larger tetras, peaceful cichlids, and catfish. Always monitor interactions to ensure a harmonious aquarium.

Aggression: The Freshwater Albino Pearl Stingray is generally peaceful but can exhibit territorial behavior, especially towards its own kind or similar bottom-dwelling species. It’s recommended to maintain a single specimen per tank or provide ample space for territories.

Experience Level: Caring for a Freshwater Albino Pearl Stingray requires an intermediate to advanced level of aquarium experience. Their specific dietary, environmental, and health needs demand dedicated attention and knowledge from the aquarist.
